A Flunami in July Number of people testing positive for influenza ("detections") As always, it's the 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨 we're looking at because there's no way that every actual infection can be captured dso the date we have are the data we have. Another 23,233 detections were added to the Australian National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) over the past eight days. As you can see from the graph below (follow the red dashed line with circle markers, for 2025), the core part of the 2025 winter flu season has closely mirrored the numbers seen in 2019 (pale green line, triangle markers), the last year before the pandemic began. https://virologydownunder.com/a-flunami-in-july/
