@Flick @inscius there's a tab for flu. you can see from this year's colour it's rising earlier. There's no wastewater testing for flu, and generally people don't get a test, so this is based on confirmed cases bad enough to have seen a doctor, and hospital admissions. Therefore general population cases will be *much* higher.

Due to prevalence of flu, covid is currently very low, off the wastewater numbers.

Not sure what you mean about entering the age of the virus - some of us have been struggling with post viral for a lot longer, just the vast spread of covid brought it to the attention of all the previously healthy people. And the vascular nature of it has caused such long term damage - the % infected continues to be so large globally that rare isn't rare any more.
