Influenza cases hit an all-time low in Australia in 2021 — that could be a problem when it returns

If you have been thinking the flu has virtually disappeared from our lives, you are not wrong. Mal Greig is the treasurer of the Windsor Bowls Club — a place normally impacted by severe influenza seasons — and said the flu was a "non-existent issue" this year. Professor Barr said the closure of schools — normally a "hot bed for influenza activity" — also played a part in the low number of cases. Dr Short said that flu surveillance in Australia was "incredibly good" so it was unlikely there was a surge of undetected flu cases. Dr Short said that could simply be because the flu was much more susceptible to being broken down, compared to the much more "heartier" virus of the common cold.
