Influenza spreads widely across the globe with outbreaks somewhere in the world at any given time. The location of the world's most concentrated number of cases can vary year to year. People who live closely together are among the hardest hit by an influenza outbreak since crowded conditions help to get the virus particles dispersed among more people who in turn disperse more. The elderly, age 65 and over, suffer the most cases in most influenza outbreaks and epidemics. The highest percentage of deaths from influenza is also in the elderly demographic group.

People should practice sanitary conditions and frequent hand washing to avoid the spread of a virus, like influenza.
