This Michigan Department of Health and Human Services chart shows influenza hospitalizations based on a survey of hospitals in Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Ingham, and Washtenaw counties. The 2020-21 season shown in the dotted black line along the bottom has been one of the lightest influenza seasons on record, with only six influenza-associated hospitalizations to date reported to MDHHS by the counties included in the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Project. (The numbers across the bottom of the chart indicate the week of the year, starting with the 40th week of year at the beginning of October and running through the 20th week near the end of April.)
