Re-estimation of epidemic curve and Case Fatality Rate (CFR) accounting for changing healthcare-seeking behaviour behaviour. a) The flusurvey adjusted epidemic curve (grey bars - the error bars represent 95% CI in healthcare-seeking behaviour) and the HPA real-time estimate (black line with circles). Both estimates are calculated from ILI consultations (blue line with squares) adjusted (red line with dots) using virological surveillance; b) the flusurvey-adjusted Case Fatality Rate (CFR) (light bars) compared to previous estimates [2] (dark bars). The CFR is shown as number of deaths per 100,000 cases for age groups up to 64 years and number of deaths per 10,000 cases for the age group 65 and older (i.e. the values represented by the pair of bars on the right is a factor of 10 greater than the other bars).
