The reason why is that influenza is not as robust at transmission as Covid. With the majority of people practicing Covid mitigation whether political or not, simple masks and social distancing prevents influenza spread

It makes sense flu is down. It’s a simple explanation but people far too often want the conspiracy. See Ochoms razor

Even with the masks and socialist distancing the normal flu should still be around.

Just need to add a tiny bit of complexity and you’ll fool advocates of Occam’s Razor every time.

You’re undoubtedly being lied to but it still makes sense that flu cases are down.

“Experts believe cases are low due to ongoing lockdown restrictions and social distancing measures.”

‘Experts’ believe a lot of things that simply aren’t true. Perhaps the CV has been around along time and we mistook CV infections for flu.

“See Ochoms razor”

You mean Occam’s Razor? And wouldn’t the simplest explanation be that flu cases are counted as Covid?

I dont think it matters if Fauci and the entire CDC comes out on TV and announces the whole thing was a hoax.

No way you’re going to convince people who’s entire life and even identity rotated around wearing a mask is ever going to admit being being so badly fooled.

“Gee I wonder why”

Masks. Same thing happened in Australia and Chile in their winter.
