In the US there is a flu epidemic as well. Fortunately, with low COVID-19 and RSV.

It is comparable with some of the heavy flu epidemics, such as 2010 and 2017/18, it is one that seems to happen around every decade. Vaccination levels unfortunately low.

This is seasonal flu, not the new birdflu.

It is tiresome, these low impact papers being abused to make exaggerated claims.

"Masks don't work"
"Vaccines don't work"
"Distancing doesn't work"

(They do. Just imperfectly).

I've heard so many of these types of comments over the past 3 years, I thought it was time to write a bit about how one big aspect of infection is a numbers game. /1
