Flu is seasonal, and there are large pushes to get people vaccinated against flu each year. Sometimes those vaccinations are more effective, and sometimes you get more people vaccinated. This season it appears both are true.

It's only seasonal because of increased indoor/outdoor humidity permitting longer micro-droplet aerosol suspension. If everyone were wearing masks that trap micro-droplets, then flus and colds effectively die out. It's the no maskers and chin-guarders that cause infectious agents like SARS-CoV-2, flu, and colds to proliferate.
