- The Covid-19 epidemic is still on the rise, with the seasonal flu off to a slow start.
- Some health experts have predicted a mild flu season due to limitations on the location of the epidemic.
- It is unclear how the flu season will continue.
The flu season is for a slow start in the United States, according to
Iowa is currently the only jurisdiction to see notable flu activity, but even there, transmission remains low.
Overall, the percentage of respiratory samples tested positive for influenza is 0.1 percent, significantly lower than the country’s current registration in recent years.
The CDC reported on Friday that the level of influenza-like illness (ILI) is 1.3 per cent, well below the national baseline of 2.6 per cent.
Most of them, however, are C.V.C. According to Na, it is due to an illness associated with Covid-1 to.
“There is less flu activity now than we have seen in recent years. A CDC spokesman told Healthline that very few influenza viruses have been found.
Some health experts expect a mild flu season, at least in the beginning, with historically low flu rates during the summer months due to restrictions on the location of the epidemic.

There is still a long way to go for a flu strike.
“Mostly, flu activity
As of November 6, the United States is experiencing low flu transmission across the country.
Iowa is a jurisdiction that currently reports significant uptick in cases.
Overall, however, only 0.1 percent of the respiratory samples tested positive for influenza.
This is significantly less than what is being recorded at this time during the recent flu season.
At this time last year,
During this week
The same goes with the 2017–2018 flu season, which at this time had a 3 .. percent positive result in the samples tested, a clear example of the strain case and increasing activity in Louisiana and South Carolina plus other southern states.
The slow start to this year’s flu season could probably be attributed to restrictions rather than coping with COVID-19 – such as wearing masks, avoiding physical distance and crowded spaces.
A pulmonary specialist at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City, Dr. “Masks and social distance should cut off all viruses, if they are the common cold, flu and coronavirus of Covid-19,” says Lane Horowitz.
In many Asian countries, masks are widely used during the flu season, allowing them to keep flu numbers down, according to Horowitz.
“I think that’s what we’re seeing here,” he says.
This summer, as people masked and kept their distance from each other, the country watched
Unlike previous years, when there were plenty of cases of flu outbreaks around the beginning of November, the flu foot was low in the United States.
As a result, there has been an increase in flu cases despite an increase in COVID-19 cases.
University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. “There has to be enough flu in the community to go like a flu bomb,” says Peter Chin-Hong. “If there were only a few people suffering from the flu, it probably wouldn’t run large in the community.”
It is unclear how the flu season will continue.
On the one hand, many states are encouraging people to continue wearing masks and practice physical distance.
These precautions used to combat COVID-19 transmission can also offset the spread of the flu, as both viruses are transmitted equally.
But some states, such as Florida and Texas, have eased their sanctions prematurely.
Some health experts suspect that spikes could soon be seen in flu cases in areas with mild restrictions.
In addition, the flu season usually falls between December and February.
“This is the beginning of the flu season, I think I’m still holding my breath because the flu is possible for a while, maybe until February, and if there are a lot of people who don’t believe wearing masks, it’s just The thing is, Chin-Hong says, before they get a lot of things, not only Kovid but also the flu.
The main message, experts say, is not to disappoint your guards.
Keep washing your hands, wear a mask and most importantly, get a flu shot.
“If you don’t get a flu shot and you don’t wear a mask, when you’re supposed to, you’re more likely to catch a flu or a Covid-19 or a common cold,” says Horowitz.
New data from the CDC shows that flu activity in the country is low. Normally, in early November, flu activity begins to increase, but health experts suspect that in place epidemic controls have triggered this year’s flu season.
Now is not the time to disappoint your guards. The flu will still strike this year, especially in areas with mild epidemic controls.
