I just saw a report that there were only 165 flu hospitalizations in the US for 2020. Down from 400,000+ from the year before. And they only took 30 seconds to deliver this astounding bit of information. I had to rewind it a few times to make sure I heard right.
CDC website confirms these numbers.

The news report I saw attributed this to wearing masks and social distancing then cut to commercial.
Congratulations are in order, we are on the way to eradicating the flu. 400,000+ hospitalizations down to 165 in less than a year, f'n amazing!!!
