What is normally the peak of the flu season in January and February came and went with nary a sniffle this year. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says this is the lowest flu season on record, with cases and hospitalizations almost non-existent. That s led to speculation that COVID-19 became the dominant virus this fall and winter, making it difficult for traditional flu bugs and viruses to spread. Other doctors believe many would-be flu cases instead ended up misdiagnosed (intentionally or unintentionally) as COVID cases.
KTRH Medical Expert Dr. Joe Galati believes there is a simpler and more obvious explanation. We are washing our hands, we re staying inside, wearing masks, and we re not moving around the way we re accustomed to, he tells KTRH. Realizing how the flu virus spreads, through droplet infection and close contact, it makes sense that the flu virus numbers are going to be down this year.

TORONTO A Mississauga man is fighting to save an outdoor skating rink that is scheduled to be torn down. Joe Galati has an emotional connection to this outdoor skating rink. When his mother died in 2014, he would come to the Burnhamthorpe outdoor rink because it helped him deal with the devastating loss. “The only thing that helped me was coming to this rink so I could escape my pain,” he told CTV News Toronto. “I am still emotional about it. I made a lot of good connections here. I learned to play hockey here so I have a lot passion about this rink.”
