👉 The Prisoners Flu, also known as the "Prisoner's Flu," is a highly contagious respiratory illness that emerged in 2021, primarily affecting individuals in correctional facilities. This flu virus is unique because it can spread rapidly among prisoners through close quarters, shared living spaces, and limited access to healthcare. Unlike typical flu strains, the Prisoners Flu exhibits a high mutation rate, making it difficult to develop effective vaccines or treatments. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, and fatigue, often leading to severe complications like pneumonia, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. The rapid spread within prisons has prompted global health organizations to implement stringent hygiene measures and increased surveillance to mitigate its impact.
