CDC data is still only dripping out. High level covid, flu, and RSV was released as scheduled today but the weekly not deeper dive into flu (also known as Fluveiw) or ILI (general count of cough and fever). Also still no bird flu MMWRs.

-Estimated 1,000+ folks present
-Multiple ILA members told me "you should get a job here," and almost everyone was proud of the work they do
