@fredhutch If you have additional questions about the study or your involvement, please email us at airs@fredhutch.org or call us at 206.667.6805.

Join @fredhutch's new study to improve local researchers' understanding of immune responses to respiratory illnesses. All King County residents 18+ are invited to participate. seattleflu.org/airs

All King County residents 18+ are invited to answer a few weekly questions to help local experts learn about the spread of respiratory illnesses like the flu and COVID-19. Together, we can help our community stay safe and healthy. bit.ly/SymptomsSurvey

Researchers from the Seattle Flu Study and @UW are teaming up with @Apple to understand how everyday devices, like an Apple Watch or iPhone, can be used to identify illnesses like COVID-19. For more information and to join the study, visit bit.ly/Apple_Respirat…

@PHNurseMichelle Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, but so glad you participated -- we appreciate it! Hope you're feeling better soon.

@DeniseJ61219277 Denise -- we know how prevalent the flu is because of the weekly status reports provided by city, state and local public health agencies.

@seattleflustudy How the heck do you know? You going around collecting samples? But it’s our DNA you you’re really after. 😡♥️🇺🇸💙

The flu’s spreading fast across Seattle. Help the UW, Fred Hutch, and our partners figure out how to stop it.

@nearlyfreaky Appreciate your thoughts, Diana. The flu season in Seattle continues to run strong, with a 6% increase in positive cases this week. We're focused on continuing high-quality research as the season continues to progress.

Rates of flu in King County increased 6% last week, with 22.2% of tests returning positive, per @KCPubHealth 's weekly flu update. Our takeaway? the Flu isn't done this season, and neither are we. More on how to support our research: seattleflu.org/a/we-need-you-…

#Parents: if your child gets sick with #flu, make sure you know what to do! Identify symptoms early, if they are at high risk consult your doctor, and keep them home while sick. Learn more: bit.ly/2Q1Ba43.

For all our Seattleites headed out on mid-winter break this week: we really appreciated @KUOW 's comprehensive reporting on how to avoid getting sick while traveling! kuow.org/stories/how-no…

Happy #ValentinesDay from the Seattle Flu Study! Spread love, not flu this February. You can show your love for our community by helping UW, Fred Hutch, Seattle Children's and BBI find new ways to prevent and treat the flu. See if you qualify today! seattleflu.org/a/loveisinthea…

@seattletimes shared an important reminder about the right way to wash your hands, which is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of the flu and other contagious illnesses. seattletimes.com/explore/shop-n…

As of February 1st, more than 210,000 Americans have been hospitalized with the flu, andthis flu season could cost employers up to $14 billion in lost time this year. (source: @CDCFlu and @247WallSt). Check out our resources for preventing flu at work: bit.ly/fluatwork

@aktimbo hi @aktimbo! We are currently expecting to be able to provide updated results in mid-February. You can follow up here seattleflu.org/results, or reach out to us at seattleflu@uw.edu with more questions about your sample.

Quick question @seattleflustudy when would I expect the results back from what I mailed in?

@LeahBednarik @LeahBednarik that actually is what we are studying! A big part of our research is understanding how families stay healthy during flu season, in addition to how and when people are getting sick.

@seattleflustudy Never have, never will. We don’t get the shot, we don’t get the flu. Our family has an immune system. Study that!

Join the Seattle Flu Study in our effort to fight the flu in our community. Together, we can find new ways to detect, prevent, and treat the disease. Learn more on our new website, and follow along this flu season for updates on the flu in your neighborhood.
