In #NYC the week ending January 17, #flu cases and emergency room visits are now below where they were the week ending November 22. #RSV and #COVID cases and ER visits remain higher than baseline, but are a small fraction of respiratory illness cases and hospital visits.

#COVIDIsNotOver and it's still #FluSeason - and things are still bad in other parts of the country, so it's not too late to #GetVaxxed!

I #WearAMask in elevators, trains, buses, doctors' offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

#Flu cases and emergency room visits continued to drop in #NYC the week ending January 10. #RSV and #COVID cases and ER visits are higher than baseline but remain a small fraction of respiratory illness cases and hospital visits.

Nationwide US data now seems complete, showing a Christmas #influenza spike and New Year's #COVID19 and #RSV bump.

@VCP This cultural process of post-pandemic denial and minimizing is so obvious I'm surprised there isn't a name for it!

I really appreciate that my community opera/chorus group continues to keep #HEPA filters running and N95 masks available (and a good percentage of ppl actually wearing one) during all rehearsals, in multiple studios.

Meanwhile, I work in primary care, and I've had the unfortunate luck to need several medical appointments myself over the last couple of months. And while mask mandates have grudgingly returned to patient-facing interactions during this #Tripledemic round, the only air purifiers running in any of those environments are the ones I run myself.1 What does it take to change clinical practice to prioritize infectious disease prevention at the doctor's office?

(I know the answer: a billing code for the air we breathe.)

1. At my main job, I rehabbed a handful of old high-capacity Austin models, bought a few smaller ones with my own money, set policy to make sure they're running, and clean them periodically). At my moonlighting gig, there are old Honeywell filters in several exam rooms, but no one turns them on until I do.

Very relieved that in the week ending January 2 in #NYC, #flu and #RSV cases, and emergency room visits and hospitalizations, are all declining, and there's no sign of a new #COVID wave. Just bought my ticket for live band karaoke!

There are #COVID19 waves elsewhere in the US, so I'm keeping an eye out.

#COVIDIsNotOver and it's still #FluSeason so I #WearAMask in crowded spaces like elevators, trains and buses, #MaskUp around vulnerable people in doctors' offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

Was zum Teufel habe ich da gerade gelesen?

Natürlich, das *allerdringendste* was wir in Sachen Resourcenverbrauch in 2026 auf Seite eins vorschlagen ist die weitere Reduktion von Infektionsschutz.

Liebes @RKI, ... war das so die beste Entscheidung?

Wäre nicht "Bei Unsicherheit: mehr Prävention statt weniger" *vielleicht* ein klitzekleines bisschen klüger, so als Grundtendenz?

Cautiously optimistic because #flu and #RSV cases and hospitalizations are going down in #NYC for the first time in this #FluSeason! Nationwide, #RSVIrus hospitalizations are also dropping, and #influenza is rising slower. I'm hoping they will continue to drop in time for next week's live band karaoke!

#COVID cases and deaths are still low; only 18 #COVID19 deaths in the first four weeks of December!

#COVIDIsNotOver and nor are RSV or the flu, so I #WearAMask in trains and doctors' offices!

New York State is reporting the highest number of flu cases ever recorded in a single week.

Prevention and timely treatment remain important, and clear public health information helps people make informed decisions as the season continues. How we respond now will shape the weeks ahead.
