CDC is hardly tracking the flu. Seems to still be consumed with COVID.

Says:
Key Updates for Week 46, ending November 14, 2020
Seasonal influenza activity in the United States remains lower than usual for this time of year.

The Flu season below the equator was minimal.

These shutdowns remind me of the definition of insanity...

What do you mean by “CDC is hardly tracking the flu”?

There’s the FluView weekly report which states there have been 123,000 flu tests performed since the end of September so far: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

There’s the FluView Interactive page tracking national, state, and local outpatient and hospitalization rates for Influenza: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluviewinteractive.htm

They have maps, graphs, raw CSV data downloads, state-by-state breakdowns. What is missing from this year that they’ve done in previous years?
