I for one am still skeptical that this isn’t some form of the Flu. Isn’t it odd that there is no Flu this winter.

Yes. Mysteriously, for the first time ever in recorded history, we have a flu season without *one* single case of flu. This is just as believable as Biden getting more votes than anyone in history.

I will say, in the year 2020, my “What a Coincidence-O-Meter” just completely pegged out with the Communist China Flu, the masks, the mail in voting, the fraud, etc.

"we have a flu season without *one* single case of flu."

We do not. We have 1,387 positive cases out of 632,197 tests for Influenza in the 2020-2021 season. Source

It's incredibly low, but not zero. And given all the masks, social distancing, etc. it's not completely shocking. Seasonal Influenza has an R0 of 0.9-1.2 and it spreads in a similar fashion to SARS-CoV-2, whose worst variants have an R0 of 4.3-5.7. So the people staying home, the social distancing, the masks, etc. that are being used to try and control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 are likely having a huge impact on Influenza's ability to spread.
