Google tells us that the most cases are reported in February. Children and seniors are especially vulnerable.
"This time of year is called “flu season.” In the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter months. Influenza activity often begins to increase in October and November. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February and can last as late as May."
Also, viruses live on hard surfaces like countertops, door handles, computer keyboards and phones for up to 8 hours.
So washing hands frequently helps a lot.
