Queen's Health System CEO Jill Hoggard Green says that Hawaii is in for a "devastating fall and winter" if we don't get at least 90% vaccination for the annual flu. The normal rate is around 40%.

No details, but I would guess that if both flu & COVID are prevalent in our population, it will be difficult to know which you have, and carrier spread more likely, plus some people will get both. A one-two punch.
