#COVID #flu and #RSV case and hospitalization counts are all dropping in #NYC as of February 28. #COVID19 deaths are also down, with only 10 reported in February so far (but that is likely to go up).
I'm in Seattle for about a week, and the numbers are similar. I ate lunch indoors and I'm going dancing with friends tonight!

In #NYC as of March 7, #COVID #flu and #RSV case counts are all down. Emergency room visits are down for #COVID19 and #RSVirus. They're slightly up for #influenza but that's probably within the normal range of variation.
I'm really happy that the winter waves for all three diseases were relatively mild, and I hope it's a good long time before we have another bad wave!
