Influenza transmission this year looks to be at a record low.  It turns out that social distancing and mask wearing doesn't just work to prevrent COVID-19 transmission.

In the United States, data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) so far show lower than average flu transmission. Just 1.5 percent of visits to a health care provider were for influenza-like illnesses in the past week, the CDC’s weekly FluView report shows.

Since September, 122,000 people have been tested for the flu, and only 319, less than 0.5 percent, have tested positive.
