It's a Miracle! The Flu Is Eradicated!

Or maybe not. Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report | CDC.

Maybe this falls under the heading of Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. Do you think we cured the Flu, do you think they are ignoring the Flu, or do you think government is lying to you? (Hint: EVERYONE is lying to you.)

As usual, click the images for a larger view.

Flu map for week 51 from the 2019-2020 Flu Season (from the CDC page linked above). Last year week 51 ended on Dec 21, 2019.

And a similar map from the 2020-2021 Flu season, for week 51 - which ended Dec 19, 2020.

Part of the caption (from 2019) reads...

This map use the proportion of outpatient visits to healthcare providers for influenza-like illness to measure the ILI activity level within a state. [My emphasis.]

Gee, do you think that "influenza-like illness" is getting counted differently this year? Hat tip to Twitter and Dr. David Samadi, MD.

As for Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics, the origin of the phrase is confused, but it seem Benjamin Disraeli never said that.

It would seem to indicate that either there are deceptions in the statistics, or this year’s COVID19 has captured the flu market and driven its competitors out of business.

(no soup for you, ordinary flu)

Italians scientists gave the quick result covid test to a kiwi [the fruit, not the bird] and it came up positive.

Avoid the produce section in your market.

Certain death lurks there.

Fruit should not be hairy.

My takeaway here is that Donald Trump eradicated the flu at the same time while combating the COVID pandemic. A huge victory.

Bet those state and maps vanish quickly or are “ updated “ after finding out only partial data was displayed.

Believe your eyes and use logic before believing anything you are free by the media.

Never trust, always verify.

Anyone want to take a bet on those odds ??

🤣😂🤣😂🤯

Maybe it’s me, but the 2019-2020 data only shows up to week 39. Have weeks 40-51 been removed?

COVID-19 Pt. 2: CDC’s New “PIC” and The Hidden Data:

“Most people aren’t aware that the CDC has lumped influenza together with Covid and pneumonia in death rates with a new name called “PIC.” This comes after the CDC confirmed that only 6% of Covid-related death certificates indicate Covid as the only cause, while 94% list other illnesses as the cause with an average of 2.6 comorbidities.” ~~

The Johns Hopkins Newsletter: A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19:

” ... the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19. This suggests,according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading. Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratorydiseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19.”

There was almost no influenza in Australia in the Winter of 2020.

It’s the masks.
