Fears are growing that the UK is of a flu epidemic that could last until March as the death toll hits 149. Up to 8.3 million people are said to by symptoms this week with 4,500 in hospital last week alone. Public Health England (PHE) also said there was an 11 per cent increase in the flu hospitalisation rate, a huge increase in the GP consultation rate with flu-like illness the previous week.
