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.

“It makes sense flu is down.”

No, it doesn’t. We are being lied to.

Down yes but virtually eradicated? Makes no sense at all.

“See Ochoms razor”

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

If masks and social distancing work so well against the flu, why don’t they work against Covid?
