5 dupes in the last 5 days. I've also gotten 500 response codes every time I've tried to look at it. What's going on here?

Try this:

I copied the title into their search field, and went to the first hit from there. Looking at the date, that should be the thing.

Thank you, that worked.

My favorite, meta-studies! And nothing seems to help based on this study of studies. I find that "it's best to carry on as usual" is hard to reconcile with the absolute lack of a flu season 2020-21 and 2021-22. Something worked, because there was essentially zero influenza those 2 years, in the USA and elsewhere.

I guess one could do a meta-study about the lack of influenza.

Several things come to my mind:

Isolation by lock-down, or general avoidance of strangers, eating/going out, masses of people, limiting in person shopping, remote work, avoiding public transportation.

Validity of numbers, prioritization of tests.
