Corona Calls

Corona Calls for 01.26.26 – Measles on the rise, Flu deaths topping COVID deaths

Discussed in this episode:

  • A measles outbreak centered in South Carolina has just topped 700 cases, and spread to at least one person in California.
  • Influenza deaths are topping COVID deaths this season. (Influenza rates *appear* to be starting a decline, but it’s not uncommon for flu season to see a second peak.)
  • Doctor Swartzberg is shockingly sanguine about the pattern COVID seems to have settled into.
