I forgot that. The cases of H3N2 are at a "seasonal peak" and it's not really influenza season. The last two cases in this area: an airport bus driver, an owner of a car rental service. Both worked in transportation. This might bear watching all right.
If the increased cases of H3N2 are made up disproportionately of younger patients, this would possibly represent an increased rate of mutation of H3N2. That, together with the region that this is would paint a picture rather consistent with old-school theory of pre-antigenic-shift, pre-pandemic conditions. While the sudden and unexpected emergence of H1N1 2009 in Mexico seemed like an epiphany to previous understanding, further developments in this current situation would be less so.
