In addition to our Daily news, Deaf Connect produces ‘deep dive’ videos which provide more detail and context to the biggest stories of the week.
Today’s Deep Dive focuses on the ‘Super-K flu’.
A fast-spreading new flu strain – the ‘Super-K’ variant – is emerging at an unusual time of year driving a sharp spike in cases and raising concern among health experts.
Reports show it’s moving quickly across Australia and other countries, and experts say that it may spread more easily and linger longer than the flu we’re used to.
To understand what’s behind this sudden surge, why it’s appearing now, and what health authorities are advising, watch the video now.
