1/ The US CDC has restarted influenza reporting!
The data support what we've seen in the wastewater, Walgreens, & genome sequencing data.
Flu rates are low, but rising (especially in kids).
70% of subtyped viruses were H3 and 50% of those were the "K" variant.
Now is the time to get vaccinated.

1/ A expected, the latest data update from Walgreens shows rising levels of general respiratory infections and also the first signs of influenza activity in the US!
We're also seeing wastewater signals in Georgia rising, in support of what Walgreens is report.

1/ A concerning flu "variant" may be driving an early rise in cases in the UK.
The virus is an H3N2, but has mutations that suggest it may evade some prior immunity.
We're not seeing much activity in the US, but that may be changing.
A 🧵 on what signals I'm watching.
