In late summer and early fall 2020, public health officials in Colorado and nationwide warned about the potential for a looming twin-pandemic. With the weather growing colder, flu season was rapidly approaching, just as COVID-19 cases were beginning to rise to unprecedented levels. Flu season comes every year, and it often results in thousands of hospitalizations. In the 2019-20 season, for instance, more than 3,500 Coloradans were admitted to hospitals with the flu. The prospect of even a thousand flu hospitalizations, in the midst of a pandemic drove hundreds into the hospital at once, posed a serious threat to hospital capacity. I can only imagine how stressful it could ve been, Eric France, Colorado s chief medical officer, said in an interview Friday. In December, our peak hospitalization rate was 1,800 people for COVID. Throw on another 1,000 at that same time for influenza, and it would really have stretched our hospitals.
