FluSight: Flu Forecasting
Flu forecasting aims to predict future seasonal flu activity before it occurs, potentially reducing the impact of flu. CDC has developed the “FluSight”, which displays the national, regional, and state-level forecasts on an interactive website. This season, CDC will be posting a short summary of the forecasts each week.
