Amid an exponential rise in COVID-19 cases, Detroit and state officials are focusing on vaccinations instead of restrictions to mitigate the spread.
So far, less than a quarter of Detroiters has received the inoculations, one of the lowest rates in metro Detroit. The city’s vaccination rate is 25% compared to 39% in Macomb and 48% in Oakland County. About 128,000 residents have received at least one shot this year, according to Mayor Mike Duggan.

After fears about a twindemic with the coronavirus pandemic taking place during flu season the flu has virtually disappeared altogether this year.
In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic began during flu season, which created an added challenge for doctors and hospitals. There were fears that we would face a similar situation this winter: a twindemic of flu and COVID-19. But that’s not what is happening.
Physician and epidemiologist Dr. Arnold Monto generally spends his winters studying flu trends at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. But this year, he says that the University Hospital hasn’t seen any cases of the flu this entire winter season.
