😷Can't conclude much about subtyping from such low numbers. YTD clearly A/H3N2 dominance. But wondering if last week's almost even spilt with A/H1N1.
Don't call the season over quite yet!

😷Ian's take-home messages...
📢Get #flu vaccine if you haven't already
📢Flu seasons pass-a good mask, worn properly, 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

SARS-CoV-2 is rising now (hosp below). While impossible to know, interesting this is occurring as flu is declining. Virus:virus interactions leading to interference (⬆SC2 BA.5 dominating flu), or release of interference (⬇Flu allowing SC2 access to fewer IFN-induced hosts?)
