CDC data indicate slight downtick in flu cases for the first week of January, but experts warn flu season far from over.

CNN (1/12, McPhillips) reported, “The United States started the new year awash in respiratory illness, with high levels of flu, Covid-19 and RSV across most of the country.” CDC data “notes that some measures of flu activity dipped in early January, but the single week of decrease is not a trend – and experts warn that more increases are likely to come.”
