“..risk for A(H5) virus transmission to the public appears to be low, close monitoring of these viruses & persons exposed is imperative. The virus continues to reassort with other NAm avian influenza viruses, increased A(H5) cases are occurring in mammals, & the risk profile could change at any moment. Influenza A(H5N1) viruses remain a potential pandemic threat, & limiting the incidence of human zoonotic infections & human-to-human transmission is critical.” #FluA

#RSV (L) and #FluA (R) have driven this surge

We saw more SARS-CoV-2 and entero/rhino before the surge (previous graph, green/purple)

Begs the question of viral impact on babies' and kids' post-viral immune function and susceptibility to subsequent infections

Usually it's #FluA are super common during #fluseason, but we've been getting a real decent amount of #FluB so far this year. I'm no longer doing sample collection on top on testing so I don't know if symptoms are similar. #medlab
