Looking at two weeks:
- Week of December 5, 2020: 40/22,474 flu tests were positive
- Week of December 7, 2019: 631/1,508 flu tests were positive
Cumulative #s:
- Cumulative through Week 14 2021: 1,739/891,717
- Cumulative through Week 14 2019: 37,155/69,291
So we've been testing wayyy more often with wayyy fewer positives.
