Early flu wave in Mallorca: How dangerous is the K variant really?

Answer

Is Mallorca expecting a worse flu season than usual this year?

Doctors do not expect the flu to be fundamentally more severe than in other years, but it is starting earlier and affecting more people at once. That means the season can feel more intense even if individual cases are similar to usual. For Mallorca, the challenge is timing and scale rather than a clearly more dangerous virus.
