Small sample size but: similar experience here (in the middle of the USA). One of my son's friend's mother was even hospitalized for "pneumonia" for a few days. This was the first time I heard of a fairly young fit person having pneumonia due to the flu.
A couple of people I know at work (in Canada) had pneumonia in December (I think). Sometimes pneumonia is pneumonia. I assume even more had it and I just don't know.
Neither of them had traveled anywhere recently.
