CNN CNN — US health officials are becoming increasingly concerned about this year’s flu season – and are already seeing signs that the virus is spreading.
As the 2022-23 flu season gets underway, one high school in California is facing a “high number of absences” among students due to possible flu cases. Flu activity in the United States often starts to increase in October and usually peaks between December and February.
“We can confirm that there is a high number of absences at Henry High School due to probable Influenza,” Samer Naji, a spokesperson for the San Diego Unified School District, said in an email to CNN on Thursday. There were about 1,000 absences Wednesday, out of 2,600 students.

Hooky is “gathering steam” too
I thought the flu was eradicated in the US back in 2021 with zero cases reported by the msm.
That is the way it seemed. Not a flu statistic to be found.
I guess that this pretty much rules out anything “unexpected” popping up.
Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!!
COVID symptons and flu\cold symptoms are alike.
More flu is being found probably because more testing is being done.
I’m pretty sure I just had it. Won’t lie it really took it out of me but definitely not enough to lock anything down or experiment on anyone.
Fake news.
Full scale outright panic ahead. Clear the streets and stay indoors. Set your mailin Dem ballots ("s" is not a typo) in the outgoing mail.
Here in Michigan the severe and totalitarian Covid lockdowns* by Gov.Gretchen Whitmer led FReepers to predict the wise voters would overwhelmingly vote her out. No dice. She's riding high on babykiller of the year pro-abortion fame now.
*"Essential" versus "nonessential". Package liquor sellers open (as abrupt cutoffs of heavy drinkers leads to domestic violence---and high liquor tax money would stop rolling in); abortion mills open ("essential to women's health." No word on the babies' health.) Surgery, medical tests, gyms, in person school classes, meetings and all else closed tightly. And religious service NOT essential so NOT open. But the dimwit voters seem to have forgiven her due to their low attention span. She said "We saved thousands of lives. We follow science."
Zero flu cases in 2021....
I think it was due to two years of people being at home most of the time. People spread flu so stay away from people, I guess.
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
REMEMBER…..in NOVEMBER!
I would guess the Biden regime has stopped paying for China Virus.
Simple.
If you're sick, STFH.
First and last words are "stay" and "home".
>> First and last words are “stay” and “home”.
Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking “shoot” and “horse”
Amen.
Great post.
Gee, how can that be???!?!
Aren’t the interminable fear porn commercials to get you and your children flu shotted working???
Of course they are.
We can’t ever be allowed to have a normal flu season again.
They got too much mileage out of Covid lockdowns and will not pass up the golden opportunity to impose their tyrannical rule over us again.
They want us used to it and for it to be such a normal part of our existence that we don’t fight it any more. Then lockdowns and tyranny will be implemented just for the heck of it without even the weak excuse of a “health emergency “.
