"It is a miracle! The flu has virtually disappeared. 95% gone..... That is because those reporting are rolling in all cases of any illness or being shot or hit by a car as the chinese virus as they get more money from the feds."

Influenza is being tested for, it just isn't there right now. Flu season peaks as late as March. If we get into March and there's still very little flu activity, then it's worth looking into why.

"CDC Covid-19 Survival Rates"

You're missing the note at the bottom of the CDC's COVID-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios chart which says that the chart's "70+" does NOT include people 80 and older. From that page: "The estimates for persons ≥70 years old presented here do not include persons ≥80 years old as IFR estimates from Hauser et al., assumed that 100% of infections among persons ≥80 years old were reported."

Estimates for the survival rates for individuals 80 and older range from 78.85% - 91.7%

Across the population, IFR is calculated to be at about 0.65%, for an overall survival rate of 99.35%. Source: CDC.

0.65% of 330 million Americans would be 2,145,000 dead. And children are not immune from the effects of COVID-19. While few die from it, they can still get sick, still show lung damage, still suffer cognitive effects and clotting. The vaccines don't carry those problems because they're not an infection.

Where are all these dead?
You know very well we are being lied to. You can wear a mask or 2 and be afraid but the rest need to live our lives.
