And in news just in...#Flu says "haha, just kidding, still going", to Queensland.
#Flu in #Queensland to 19JUN2022
😷current data point(s) often changes in the subsequent week as outstanding results are finalised and reported

😷The biggest per population infection impact is in the under 20-year-olds.

😷Percent positive with a moving average. This also shows the rebound in the 20+ group.

😷Hospital admission numbers because of #flu, broken up by region of Qld but also with some historical context.
🤒Lots of sites above the 5 year-to-date mean figures

😷subtyping numbers are low. But the trends continue to point to A/H3N2 dominance. Little A/H1n1 or B.

😷Ian's take-home messages...
📢Get #flu vaccine if you haven't already
📢Flu seasons pass - wearing a P2/N95 mask indoors increases your chances of missing this one
📢Stay home if sick (=new: cough, sneezing, headache, fever, fatigue)
📢Stay away from the elderly if sick

😷These graphs & tables were screen-captured from the latest #Queensland Government #Flu surveillance report found here. Great work.
