CDC report shows flu virtually nonexistent in the US

The weekly influenza surveillance report prepared by the Influenza Division of the CDC shows that influenza ("the flu") is virtually non-existent in the United States.

Influenza A (H1) has zero reported cases.  A (H3)  shows 21 cases with  2009 H1N1 at 2 cases.

There were 31 cases of Influenza A where sub-typing was not performed.  There were 102 cases of Influenza B reported and 7 cases of H3N2v.

Given the population of the United States (312.8 million), these numbers are statistically insignificant.
