We have the CDC Flu View for MMWR Week 3 ending Jan 22.
cdc.gov/flu/weekly/ind…
Flu testing. Traditionally the clinical lab figures are the surveillance numbers, but a lot of testing has shifted to public health labs.

Comps are this year's week 3 to previous years' week 3 week-of reports, not final, to account for lag.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Image
Here's the clinical labs by week. Decline continues for flat after four weeks of decline -- will we get a February rebound? Image
Flu testing season-to-date, first 16 weeks (MMWR weeks 40 to 3) compared to recent years. Image
Here's CDC's ILI chart for this week (MMWR week 2). Three weeks of drop from apparent cron peak. Image
CDC reports a total of 971 flu hospital admissions (-512 from previous week) nationally for the week ending on January 22. Image
Today's national HHS Protect daily flu hospital census is 1,140. (-260 from last Friday).

Here's where they are by state. Image
Cron stomp ending?

Biofire shows everything else dropped while the cron took over, now bottoming while cron peaks.

CDC RSV by region through 1/22.

West drop continued, joining the rest of the country.

Fifth week of flu decline in Florida, which had been retracing 2018-19 season but broke down sharply when the cron showed up. floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-c… Image
Sweden. Flu A returned big time after ~2 years at zero -- vanished just as fast when cron hit.

Why does seasonal flu vanish during pandemics? We don't really understand the mechanism, but it's not mitigation.
And it's not masks. We have tons of studies showing masks don't stop flu, and the patterns are the same in places that don't use masks.

Here's WHO's global flu chart, five year and one year views. Is the global mini return past peak for the year?

This link will let you compare any country or region in the world:

Latest update to our @AmerComm @commit2seniors analysis of AARP/UnitedHealth financials is being finalized and the 2024 numbers are absolutely astonishing even to me. Truly obscene. You will never guess how much UnitedHealth paid AARP last year.
AARP, which is now actively lobbying for an extension of supersized Obamacare subsidies to UnitedHealth got paid NINE BILLION DOLLARS by UnitedHealth last year! Image

Fauci's fixer David Morens: "I learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia'd but before the search starts, so I think we are all safe."

Foia lady is "an old friend, Marg Moore, who leads our FOIA office and also hates FOIAs." Image
Morens deleted all emails related to origin "when the sh-- starting hitting the fan." Image

What happened when Trump deregulated fixed and mobile broadband Internet service?

1. Prices plunged. Image
2. Speeds skyrocketed. Image
3. All of the crazy end-of-the-world-is-nigh predictions from the media and other Democrats were wildly, comically wrong.

The Collins video is here. He is absolutely grotesque.
In 2023, Collins dismisses Sweden (lowest all-cause excess mortality in Europe) based on a few months in early 2020.
Collins "infinite value" quote transcribed. Image

Huge Senate votes tomorrow on @RogerMarshallMD bill to terminate the COVID national emergency (how many of the 12 Dems who voted yes for identical bill in November will flip??) and @SenCapito bill to ban Biden's insane WOTUS rule that lets EPA/Army Corps call anything a wetland.
These are both privileged measures that cannot be filibustered. Candidates for Biden vetoes #2 and #3.
(But I also thought he would veto the DC crime bill and he didn't. It never hurts to make him do it.)
