I think the short answer is it's tricky. Covid-like illness (CLI) includes symptoms likeshortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, and chest pain. Here is a good long answer: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/2/23-0768_article
With all due respect, Missouri is one of the worst states this could've happened in. Their state position is pretty firmly anti-science. I hope there's a way to force cooperation as otherwise, I'm not sure it occurs.
Is there any correlation between minimal IFL /lower COVID activity and the release of the new formulation of covid shots and flu shots 3+ weeks ago? (Yes, the flu shots have been available for more than 3 weeks, but in general, our pharmacy chain was holding off on administering them until Sept 1st.)
Since NY is such a large state, would you be able to share NYC data separately?
Just preordered Kindle copy of book on Amazon. Looking forward to reading it.
I’ve always wondered - how is ILI distinguished from covid? How is ILI low when covid is high or very high?

Why don't they want CDC's help? I'd think they'd appreciate it.

No I don't think so, neither vaccine is especially effective at reducing transmission. Also uptake rates are very low this time of year.
