Outbreak Outlook - July 22

Jul 22, 2024

∙ Paid

Summer Plans: During the summer months, I am on my off-season schedule:

For paid subscribers, I’ll combine weekly updates into a single report. These updates are less detailed compared to my winter report.
Free subscribers will continue to receive occasional essays and posts during the summer months, but I won’t be posting as often.
In the fall, I will return to sending out a full-length, free national version of Outbreak Outlook. Paid subscribers will receive region-specific editions with more local data.

All quiet on the influenza front. Just 1.4% of visits to the doctor were for fever and cough or sore throat, down from 1.6% one month ago.

Even the always-highest 0-4 age group is below 5%. The older age groups are all below 2%.

The summer wave of infections is here. National wastewater concentrations have risen sharply, matching last summer's peak levels.
