Will the U.S. flu hospitalization rate per 100,000 in Week 2 of the 2026 flu season be greater than 70?

This market will resolve according to the cumulative influenza-associated hospitalization rate per 100,000 population for the United States, as reported for Week 2 of 2026. If the recorded data falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher bracket. The resolution source for this market will be CDC FluView / FluSurv-NET (see: https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/index.html). If the FluSurv-NET hospitalization rate for the specified week is not released by January 26, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket. Note: Only the CDC FluSurv-NET cumulative hospitalization rate per 100,000 population for Week 2, 2025 will qualify, regardless of estimates, projections, state-level reports, or other influenza surveillance metrics published by the CDC or other sources.
