Flu cases are plummeting—down 65% from last year’s brutal outbreak—with just 33,000 reported so far. Experts credit immunity from last year’s surge and earlier Northern Hemisphere activity, but caution against complacency: a fast-moving flu strain is still spreading, up 15% in just two weeks. Meanwhile, RSV is overwhelming hospitals, driving nearly half of recent admissions—treatments and vaccines exist, especially for vulnerable groups. Yet flu vaccine rates remain dangerously low: only 20% of kids and 16% of adults aged 18–50 are protected, despite free shots and new nasal sprays. With other respiratory threats rising globally, experts warn we’re not doing enough to stay ahead.
