The CDC usually uses terms like "high activity" or "widespread" to describe the annual flu outbreak. Now, it will be releasing numerical estimates on Fridays to give a clearer picture.
So far, the CDC believes over 7 million people have been sickened - and nearly 84,000 hospitalized.
Last year, it says 48 million people got sick, with 950,000 of them hospitalized.
