The rate at which flu tests returned positive results at the state’s clinical sentinel labs surged to 27.8% for the week ending Feb. 1, the most recent for which complete data are available.

I’m on week 2 of being sick myself.

Worst flu season in years... one month after return to office mandates. Weird.

Low vaccination rate (stupidity), combined with slightly less effective vaccines this year (bad luck). The good news is, we're seeing vaccinated folks have less severe symptoms for shorter lengths of time.
