You can click to see the current and the forecast for COVID for the entire US, each state, or each county. The forecast goes out by two weeks from the current date.

My area is going to get funky very soon.

Jolly, your state ... oh my. The forecast for two weeks from now is stunning.

I was browsing the page and saw this

Wait, what?! Flu vaccine to help with COVID?

Holy Crap! Has anyone else heard about this?

[brenda]

@lufins-dad I had not. I better get my flu shot this year. I usually do, but last year did not get one.

Lots of reasons this could help, and I will take any of them.

Haven’t heard that.

Last fall they heavily promoted flu shot largely to avoid cases coming in that they would mistake for covid.

Now that was the only legitimate looking thing I found, everything else was from dubious looking sites.

Cool site. Looks like we might get a whopping 35 cases per 100,000 citizens soon. Cases mind you…not hospitalizations nor deaths.

Then again, I’m sure Minnesota will see it’s share of the surge in the fall.
