“More than 34,000 positive flu tests were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention… more positive flu tests than have been reported in any single week during any flu season on record, going back as far as 1997.… Only a quarter of adults and 40 percent of children have received a flu shot this season.… This year’s flu shot is expected to be a particularly effective one.” vox.com/2022/12/6/23494948/flu

I want to be excited about this past week’s CDC FluView trends but I think rather than signaling a cresting wave it might be a slight post-Thanksgiving decline that will be followed by a winter school break / Christmas / New Year’s jump (note dip then increase in previous ILI seasons

We’re entering the winter wave of viruses in the northern hemisphere and should do our part to limit spread of not just Covid but also flu and other viruses.
That said, it’s hopeful to see lower rates of inpatient admissions and death for Covid-19.
Share the good news too.
And let’s not forget the flu.
