Not a single case of flu detected in England

I can't believe "not one single case" completely, anywhere, but I don't doubt the incidence of flu has been far far less this winter.
All the grans blaming young children in school for being germ-ridden petri dishes over the past months should be ashamed. Or at least acknowledge that schools have done a marvellous job with infection control.

Thanks for sharing Blossoming ?

I hope everyone carries on with hand hygiene. I found I prefer wearing a mask in cold weather, it makes breathing easier for me, and I would be happy to do it during the flu season.

Since my husband has not been able to go to his indoor bowls club I have not had a single cold whereas I would usually get one about once a month. I'm not really surprised to hear about regular 'flu juts goes to show doesn't it but I hope the vaccine uptake gets even better.

I read somewhere that there’s research going on about the feasibility of combining an annual flu jab with the COVId jab. That sounds an interesting avenue

I thought way back that wearing a mask would impact flu incidence. I'm another that would happily wear a mask during winter months if this helped .

Very interesting. Thanks for the link

Well, that's interesting, and quite encouraging too. If social distancing, mask wearing and hand sanitisation are what it takes to subdue flu, then I'm all for it.
I wonder if the uptake of the flu vaccine will continue at the same rate in years to come. I certainly hope so.
