4. No pediatric #flu deaths reported so far this year. 🙏
If you want to know more about #H3N2 subclade K viruses, I wrote about them here recently. www.statnews.com/2025/11/20/f...
And #CDC's FluView is here: www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

3. How bad this #flu season will be in the US is still anyone's guess. But if #H3N2 viruses play a big role the season could be tough; the H3 component in flu shots may not protect well against subclade K viruses.
Currently H3 is the major player & subclade K makes up more than 1/2 of H3 viruses.

1988 is also the first year the government marked World AIDS Day. They have done so every year until now.

This refusal is not just symbolic. The admin is unraveling our country's global HIV response, on top of the heavy damage already done to our foreign aid and all public health programs.

The only defense is offense. The only way to fight this fire is with solidarity. Unmitigated principled stances. Without compromise
