Flu Cases Remain Almost Non-Existent in the U.S. This Year

TACOMA, WA - NOVEMBER 28: A nurse waits to administer flu shots during a COVID-19 testing and flu shot event at the Tacoma Dome on November 28, 2020 in Tacoma, Washington.

  • The drop is tied to the coronavirus pandemic.
  • Experts warn that flu cases could still surge.
  • Vaccination is the best protection.

During the second week in January, 23 people tested positive for the flu in the United States.

More than 14,657 tested positive for the flu during the same time last year, before the coronavirus pandemic took hold.

“It’s crazy,” Lynnette Brammer, who leads the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Domestic Influenza Surveillance team, told The Washington Post. “This is my 30th flu season. I never would have expected to see flu activity this low.”

For the week ending January 16, the CDC reported low or minimal flu activity in almost every state and territory.

    Lynette is either a liar or a moron, i suspect the former as everyone at the cdc is well aware of the fraud by now.

    You can't report Influenza numbers if NOBODY TESTS FOR INFLUENZA. I work in healthcare....have for almost 45 years. I spend a typical 40 hours a week in a hospital, virtually ALL of that time seeing ED patients. There is a "track board" for that department showing ALL active patients, their status, where they are and what tests are ordered. I can see ALL OF THAT INFORMATION on ALL THOSE PATIENTS.
    Since last April virtually EVERY patient presenting with ANY symptom that might possibly be from the Wu Flu has been tested for Covid 19.
    In that same time frame I can count on ONE HAND the number of tests done for "Influenza A or B". ONE HAND! There is NO MONEY TO BE MADE for Influenza patients and the numbers serve NO POLITICAL PURPOSE so the CDC has basically told hospitals to NOT TEST FOR INFLUENZA because they DO NOT CARE what those numbers are.

      We are long gone, it seems.

    The flu has been rebranded, given another name.
    Changed into a tool of control and profit.
