I'd like to see more data on this. Just looking at CDC reports, it seems that influenza from May 2022 to Oct 2022 is just tracking the normal winter high, summer low pattern:
Going back to the 2021 year, that's where the pattern returns to normal, i.e. early 2021 had very few positive influenza tests, but then it starts climbing again in late 2021 (Nov 2021 report):
Interestingly, rates of co-infection (COVID + flu) seem to be all over the place, this study found a ~50% coinfection rate in 2021-2022 (others are much lower, maybe people with Covid were not also being tested for flu?
