Comparable data is hard to find, but when we looked at 2022/23 & 2023/24 data we see that deaths are still higher for COVID than influenza *BUT* looking at % hides the fact that COVID-19 is more contagious and in 23/24 there were almost 3x as many COVID hospitalizations than influenza. 4/n

That already sounds very intense! We use photo bleaching with a H2O2 bleaching solution as recommended in the HCR IF/RNA co-detection protocol. However, I am not sure if that buffer is a game changer... Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
