In both of the previous two flu seasons, the flu vaccine performed poorly against the nasty predominant virus. Those 2017-2018 estimates are new: The CDC last month revised them down from previous estimates as more data - including actual death certificates - came in.

It was bad, but not as bad as the one before it, when flu caused an estimated 61,000 deaths and 810,000 hospitalizations. It ended with around 49,000 flu-related deaths and 590,000 hospitalizations, according to preliminary estimates. Last flu season started off as a mild one but turned out to be the longest in 10 years. Flu is widespread in 16 states, though not necessarily at intense levels in each, the CDC said. But in new numbers released Friday, CDC officials said the number of states with intense activity rose last week to 12.

The prosecutor also said that during a pretrial hearing, the lieutenant initially denied making some statements that he later admitted making. The prosecutor stated that the lieutenant then began to insist that the injured party could not identify the defendant - despite other evidence to the contrary.
