Flu is largely suppressed in summer anyway, with outbreaks moving from the northern to southern hemisphere, in time for winter, and back again.

The combination of summer suppression and (continuing) hygiene measures has resulted in historic low levels of flu globally, which would need time to grow exponentially to even reach baseline levels.
