No shit.
Just The News: Rates of influenza have remained persistently low through late 2020 and into 2021, cratering from levels a year ago and raising the puzzling specter of sharply reduced influenza transmission rates even as positive tests for COVID-19 have shattered numerous records over the last several weeks.
Where have all the flu cases gone?
Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski thinks he can answer the riddle.
“Influenza has been renamed COVID in large part,” said theformer head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University.
“There may be quite a number of influenza cases included in the ‘presumed COVID’ category of people who have COVID symptoms (which Influenza symptoms can be mistaken for), but are not tested for SARS RNA,” Wittkowski told Just the News on Thursday. read more
One sure thing about the human beast, it can’t be trusted.
Also bronchitis, sinus infections, pneumonia
See, wearing masks works!
Just not for Covid.
…stubbed toe, hang nail, head lice…
2020 has not been a good year for counting. Anything.
Annnndddd….the increase of the proportional number of deaths (per 1000) nationwide is statistically no different than any year in the past decade.
2020 8.880 1.120%
2019 8.782 1.120%
2018 8.685 1.220%
2017 8.580 1.240%
2016 8.475 1.270%
2015 8.369 1.270%

Notice the downward trend of the decade before was reversed in what year… illegal alien influx… Thanks obummer…
Yep, and they will use these numbers as “proof” that masks and isolation work.
Get ready for another round of it next year when the “flu” season hits.
It is about time for lead poisonings to start increasing.

Can I still catch a cold?🤔
Jethro, the numbers have been offset by dramatically improving the lives of blacks by efforts and awareness of BLM. Blacks stopped killing each other once they were told their lives mattered. All you gotta do is dig a little deeper into the numbers….. oh, nevermind.
Only with a net these days Tim!
Speaking of colds, I’m thinking that with people trying to avoid sickness, when something like a cold or flu hits, it’s going to be worse than ever!!
Caveat: what follow is not yet verified / corroborated.
Here is a very unsettling article at The Liberty Beacon, Are Flu Vaccine Deaths Being Recorded As COVID-19 Mortalities?
In the UK, the number of official COVID deaths correlates well with the expected number of deaths caused by administering flu vaccine to elderly people. The only way to tell the difference between a death caused by an adverse reaction to the flu vaccine and a COVID death is by performing an autopsy. The UK’s Coronavirus Act 2020 suspends autopsies, and went into effect at just the right time if flu vaccine deaths are being miss-categorized as COVID.
I’m looking forward to seeing if these claims turn out to be true. If so, I’ll be horrified but not surprised, such is my level of distrust of govts and assumptions of their evil intentions.
Unky, you’ll never know.
