February 16, 20215 yr Third shot? Nah, I'm good. This has just turned into panic porn that new outlets can fill the hours with now that they don't have 17 hours of orange man coverage. Time to start living our lives again.

February 16, 20215 yr more people are wearing masks & social distancing now than during a typical flu season...but i know the repug deep thinkers are allergic to common sense & facts.

Fascinating!

You need to go to as many indoor mass gatherings as you can, and lick all the door knobs as you go. That's the only way to stick it to these libs!

February 16, 20215 yr An uptick in vaccination may be another factor. The CDC stated that as of Dec. 4, 189.4 million flu vaccine doses were distributed throughout the nation, the highest ever recorded during a single influenza season.

It has been required for schools in some states which is probably a big factor.

February 16, 20215 yr 15 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: Hopefully they do the same for the covid vaccine in Fall '22 Lot of factors involved there but we'll see. If it's still prevalent and the vaccine has been approved for kids at that point then I imagine it would be but who knows.

What was it the year before and a normal year? Are we talking 5 million more or 80 million? Edit: Found it. Looks like it went up a bit, but not a great amount. 15 million. (I wonder what caused the big spike (and then drop) in 2010-2011). So that factor is negligible when talking about the drop in flu this year, IMO. Up until a few years ago I never got the flu shot. This year I made a point since it was (rumored?) that it helps alleviate COVID symptoms if you caught it.

I agree that vaccinations aren't as much of a factor as masks and distancing. We all expected a very mild flu season this winter, wasn't exactly a surprise to anyone except Dr. Drew.
