COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 10/14/26 *Holiday Week
Bad news on Flu continues.
COVID indicators rise slightly.
Flu positivity & hospitalizations continue to rise, and is now appearing in wastewater.
*Holiday weeks subject to data delays
To end it all, i asked for the transcript of the phone screen & the agent said, “you can use Google AI to summarize and explain it to you”.
Excuse me NO.
1) public health should not recommend AI
2) the US government should not recommend SPECIFIC companies

Call to Action: We are looking for volunteers across the state of Colorado to join us in the efforts to email local public health departments, to ask for communication about rising flu and covid levels and recommendations for masks in healthcare! 1/2

A little 1 year old girl toddling around in the airport today decided I was her friend and said "up?" And with the permission of her parents, I held her.
Babies don't care if you're wearing a mask or showing facial expressions, they just want to play and be cared for. 1/3

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 10/21/26
Flu continues to rise ahead of schedule, but forunately the rise is relatively slow.
COVID indicators dip slightly.
No major changes from recent trends, but COVID wastewater is flattening out.
Hospital Admissions (comparing to initial #s for last week)
Covid: 28, down from 39 last week
Flu: 76, up from 58
RSV: 3, down from 4
Flu hospitalizations are well ahead of last year.

Last season, Colorado recorded eight children dying from flu. Five were unvaccinated. Four had no record in a state database showing they were vaccinated. The other was a child younger than 6 months old, too young to get the flu vaccine. cpr.org/2026/10/15/colorado-…

Colorado reports its first pediatric flu death for this season, in an elementary school aged child from outside the Denver Metro.
This is TWO MONTHS ahead of last year's first pediatric flu death.

I want to add:
There are forms of the flu vaccine available without needles, that can even be taken at home.
Also, a flu vaccine reduces your chance of catching the flu, and prepares your body to effectively fight the flu if you do catch it, reducing duration and severity.
