Respiratory illness
No data was published this week because of the 4th of July holiday. As of last week, influenza was very low and steady, while Covid-19 was also low but showing some early signs of increase in Gulf states. When new data is released, I will be looking for both continued increases and expansion to other states. Those would be signs we are edging into the summer Covid-19 season.
