Just in time for election
there is no flu,,everything is covid
I only got the flu shot in college due to living in close quarters...But if one is prone to the flu or immuno-compromised in any way, probably a good idea to get a flu shot(?) Because getting it PLUS Covid probably doesn’t sound good regardless of how healthy you are.
Given increased precautions against coved-19 like increased hand washing and distancing there should be some decrease in flu I would think.
In Australia, for example, there were just 107 lab-confirmed cases of influenza this past August, as opposed to 61,000 in August 2019. The same dynamic was observed in countries like South Africa, Chile, and Argentina – all countries that get their flu season during the North American summer....
I believe they’re already distributing this years flu shot.
It’s 2020; don’t ask.
Australia’s flu season was mild.
Everyone was taking precautions for COVID - hand washing, surface sanitization, masks, etc. Those two things alone will decrease the spread of the flu.
After my transplant, I started wearing surgical masks every winter to prevent myself from catching the flu. Same principle. I don’t predict it being worse.
Actually remarkable low cases in US and globally of seasonal flu. We are only in the 2nd or 3rd week so far..
Or they are just lumping seasonal flu cases in to pump up covid numbers.
