The U.S. has seen 23 percent more flu cases this year compared to last year’s influenza season, though flu activity is still below normal pre-pandemic years, according to data collected by the Walgreen Flu Index.
According to the flu index, which includes data through the week ending on Oct. 9, Nevada leads the U.S. in the number of flu cases reported this year, followed by Mississippi and Texas.
The market area with the most flu activity the week of Oct. 3 was Las Vegas which, according to a statement from Walgreens, is potentially because it is a top tourist destination.

Last year, it was basically 0 cases. And now it’s 23% higher!!!!!
Last year, no one reported getting the flu.
This year, it is back with a vengeance. Had a touch of it myself two weeks ago.
Numbers of Flu cases have not seriously changed.
The REPORTING of numbers of Flu cases has seriously changed.
I never dreamed Americans would be so bad at putting two and two together.
“...Nevada leads the U.S. in the number of flu cases reported this year...”
How do they NO???
0/0=ERROR
Time to prepare for “flu lockdowns”!
I felt a little achy with a cough yesterday afternoon. Woke up early this morning having broken a fever, the bedding quite damp. Been feeling much better as the day has progressed.
Hell they should be up 100% because if you may remember there was no flu last year!!!
That’s not hard, there were only 1,800 worldwide. The rest were covid.
23? That’s not bad considering the lack of cases last year.
0.23 x 0 does not compute.
It’s 5, isn’t it?
What do they expect when they called everything (except fentanyl floyd’s death) a covid death.
The problem with last year is most people assumed everything was COVID. They got tested, waited a few days for the result and most (90% or more) were told they were negative and they never knew what they had. This flu season, almost all tests are a PCR multiplex array that tests for Influenza A, Influenza B, RSV, and COVID. Some test for many viruses and bacteria (22 for the BioFire PCR test linked below), including common cold corona and rhino viruses, pneumonia, pertussis, and more. So instead of just a negative COVID test, they can tell you “it’s just the flu, bro”. Or a cold. Or bacterial pneumonia. And it is much faster, sometimes under an hour.
If you or your child/grandchild is sick, make sure you are tested with a multiplex array PCR test for all likely respiratory infections. Especially for kids, many of these other viral/bacterial infections are actually more important to know about than COVID.
This is just one:

Ask your doctor what is available to you.
1. NOBODY is allowed to catch so much as a cold anymore…
2. Had our government not meddled with the numbers in order to make COVID!!! look scary…
3. I haven’t been sick since March of 2020 (Covid! Pneumonia); when I DO catch the next bug, I’m afraid it’ll be worse than it otherwise would be.
In order to get on the Federal flu list, you need to test for it.
In 2020 they simply did not test for it. It was assumed you had Corona.
This is all horse crap.
