The good news is that flu activity is “very light” right now, said Dr. Zane Saul, chief of infectious disease at Bridgeport Hospital. But he, and others, caution that a spike in the contagious respiratory illness could be lurking around the corner — so don’t get too comfortable. “Last year, we saw a very rapid uptick in activity right before Christmas,” Saul said. “We don’t want anybody’s holiday ruined by the flu.” Indeed, others are echoing the idea that this could be a calm before the storm. “The biggest peaks for flu-like illnesses often occurs December through February, so it’s still a little too early to make any accurate predictions,” said Dr.
