Doctors worried about a flu and COVID 'twindemic.' Then everyone put on a mask and washed their hands.

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Before we got to flu season, there was a lot of concern in the medical community about the repercussions of combining a roaring pandemic with even a normal flu season. Fast forward to March, and flu cases are down dramatically across the board. This is incredibly good news for everyone, but especially the elderly. So what does it mean that we basically skipped a flu season? Dr. Maryann Lauletta, Medical Director of Inspira LIFE (Living Independently for Elders) in South Jersey joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what doctors have observed about flu season so far, why flu cases have been so low, and what it could mean moving forward.
