Small business owners: Arm employees to fight the flu
Flu season is as predictable as any major holiday and leaves millions in its wake. The CDC estimates in 2023-241:
- 35 – 65 million Americans caught the flu
- As many as 830,000 individuals were hospitalized with the flu
- As many as 72,000 individuals died of the flu
