NYTIMES.COM -- More than 80,000 Americans died of the flu in the winter of 2017-2018, the highest number in over a decade, federal health officials said. 90% of those deaths were people over age 65. The high mortality rate was unusual because it was caused by a "normal" -- albeit severe -- flu season. It is impossible to know yet how effective this year's vaccine will be. Last season's flu vaccine was only about 40% effective at preventing infection -- approximately the same as the previous season's, according to the C.D.C. Vaccine effectiveness varies quite a bit each year, from a high of 60% in 2010-11 to a low of 19% in 2014-2015. In the 2009-2010 swine flu epidemic, 59 million Americans are thought to have caught the novel strain ...
TIME.COM -- "We are pretty much at capacity, and the volume is certainly different from previous flu seasons," says Dr. Alfred Tallia, at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center. "I've been in practice for 30 years, and it's been a good 15 or 20 years since I've seen a flu-related illness scenario like we've had this year." The story is similar in Alabama, which declared a state of emergency. Dr. Bernard Camins, associate professor of infectious diseases says "We had to treat patients in places where we normally wouldn't, like in recovery rooms." In California, several hospitals have set up large "surge tents" to accommodate and treat flu patients. Even then, emergency departments had standing-room only, and some patients had to be treated in hallways. The 2017-2018 influenza epidemic is ...

He also held a conference of da'is from different regions to review the mission activities and made vital changes in Syria and India. Iranian Ismailis were mostly engaged in agriculture and Laters some ventured into local trade, becoming leading merchants in Kirman and dominated trade in Hormuz around 1580. Mostly they traded with the Portuguese and, later, with the English East India Company. There are also indications that Khoja Ismaili traders launched their commercial activities between Hormuz and Kutchh. The Ismaili ruler of Gilgit, Raja Trakhan ...
