Weekly Flu Review from the CDC

During week 20 (May 17 – 23, 2009), influenza activity decreased in the United States, however there are still higher levels of influenza-like illness than is normal for this time of year.

CDC – Influenza (Flu) | Weekly Report: Influenza Summary Update Week 20, 2008-2009 Season
