The peak of seasonal influenza virus in the USA at the same time that dairy and poultry farmers are being infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus likely increases the risk of occurrence of human-avian reassortment viruses.
2. Check out the difference 1 month made. The map on the left shows #flu activity at the end of November, just after Thanksgiving. The map on the right shows the situation as of Dec. 28. The darker the color, the more flu-like illness making the rounds.

We need better data on how many people this is happening to, now.
Governments need to stop hiding their heads in the sand and pretending it will all go away.

Some countries are 'superspreaders' of infectious diseases.
China & the US are notably so for infleunza.
This is because they're busy travel hubs, distributing infected travellers worldwide.
The impact of this, if the US goes full anti-vax in 2025 will be felt by us all: ⏫harm, ⏫costs, ⏫headlines
