Patients. I had one patient all winter that had influenza. Only one patient with a fever, all winter!

Then, I had 3 positive influenza A two weeks ago. Then, multiple patients last week with fever.

I'm the very front line of sick patients. If it plowed through the west and already infected us all, I would have seen it. Anecdotal evidence sucks, and I admit that when I give my experience.

So, what about Helen Chu in Washington retesting her influenza specimens for Covid from earlier and...not seeing it? That's not anecdotal.
