  1. Posterior median (with 95% credible intervals underneath) for the ILI+ attack rate (per 100,000 people), Hospitalization attack rate (per 100,000 people), and ICU attack rate (per 100,000 people). These attack rates are forecasts for the cumulative total number of GP consultations/Hospitalisation/ICU admissions attributable to influenza over the course of the whole influenza season. The ‘ISO Week’ gives the week of 2018 in which the forecast is made
