The winter flu season usually ramps up in December or January. Reports of another respiratory virus, RSV, also continue to increase nationally, although health officials are optimistic that they are seeing some early signs that the wave of RSV may be starting to wane.

A busy flu season is not unexpected. The nation saw two mild seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic, and experts have worried that flu might come back strong as a COVID-weary public has moved away from masks and other measures that tamp the spread of respiratory viruses. There may be some good news: COVID-19 cases have been trending downwards and leveled off in the last three weeks, Romero said.
