Is your hospital having a flu A outbreak?

Since the Trump administration has gutted the CDC I think we need to help one another keep an eye on the flu A / bird flu situation that could be developing. If bird flu starts jumping between mammals it has the potential to be even more devastating than covid. We’re talking 50% mortality rates among the hospitalized from what I’ve read.

Is your hospital noticing a massive uptick in flu A? Is your hospital sub typing your flu A? If you don’t know then call your infection control department and ask. Post your general location in the comments too

My area in mid-state NY is business as usual at the moment. I have to check in with the ED and ICU to ask them what’s going on with them.
