#TraitorTrump will try anything to save himself – even screw all of America! WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump kept up pressure on trading partners on Saturday, threatening European automakers with a tax on imports if the European Union retaliates against his plan to slap tariffs on aluminum and steel.

Flu cases in the US from Week 4 to Week 8, 2018.[1]
Graphs from https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/pastreports.htm
This year’s annual influenza (flu) H3N2 epidemic in the United States (US) has peaked. It’s been a big season in the US and the United Kingdom and in Canada, as it was a record-breaking one in Australia.
Referring to my earlier post that showed about a 3-week lag before the bars on the CDC graphs (laboratory-confirmed influenza infected people) settled in,[2] we can say that the past 3 reports show the beginning of a definite downward trend in total laboratory confirmed influenza cases.
Because the peak was so high (lots of infected and ill people) this season, it will take a while for the epidemic to cool down; there will still be lots of human cases (influenza infected and ill people) for weeks to come.
The graphs above show a few things that combine to show the peak of lab confirmed cases is behind us.
This is the case for lab-confirmed cases. Whether the actual number of infected people who were not ill enough to get tested has also peaked is unknown. You can get an estimate by looking at “influenza-like illness” (ILI) numbers (ill people but not necessarily lab-tested) although this can be a trap in the absence of other virus testing, because other viruses can cause ILI.
But, if you hypothesize that the number of people who are ill with the lab-confirmed flu is a representative sample of the whole community who are infected, you would also expect that the peak has passed in general.
I’m hoping we see some more information about the vaccine issues in the wash-up to this season. In particular, were cell-line-based vaccines more effective than egg-based vaccines? And what might be done to improve vaccine uptake among those most at risk of severe influenza; the young (with the hospitalization rates), the elderly and those with underlying disease. The US has a range of vaccine available is they may be in a good position to look into this.
Whats next? The southern hemisphere flu season is coming!!

Australian values are neither clear nor consistent. If we want to make a difference in the world, we should follow New Zealand’s lead
Of all the Generation X world leaders elected in the last few years – think Justin Trudeau in Canada, Emmanuel Macron in France, and even the 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz in Austria – it is New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern who has the firmest sense of what kind of country she wants to lead on the world stage.
Just four months since taking office after a decade of conservative rule, and while trying to carefully balance the views of three parties in government, New Zealand is already showing signs of regaining its trademark standing as a small but confident, principled and creative presence internationally. And Australia should take notice.
