Where did all the flu go?
I don’t know, it just disappeared, like ‘poof’
Flu has virtually disappeared from the U.S., with reports coming in at far lower levels than anything seen in decades.
Experts say that measures put in place to fend off the coronavirus — mask wearing, social distancing and virtual schooling [ed. I read that ‘virtue signaling’ which makes more sense] — were a big factor in preventing a “twindemic” of flu and COVID-19. A push to get more people vaccinated against flu probably helped, too, as did fewer people traveling, they say.
Another possible explanation: The coronavirus has essentially muscled aside flu and other bugs that are more common in the fall and winter. Scientists don't fully understand the mechanism behind that… [ed. of course not, scientists these days don’t understand a lot of things that don’t fit the coronavirus narrative]
The numbers are astonishing considering flu has long been the nation's biggest infectious disease threat. In recent years, it has been blamed for 600,000 to 800,000 annual hospitalizations and 50,000 to 60,000 deaths…Flu-related hospitalizations, however, are a small fraction of where they would stand during even a very mild season, said Brammer, who oversees the CDC's tracking of the virus. – ABC News
As we “non-scientists” suspected all along, it appears the “flu” may well have been conflated with the “Covid” all last year. According to Legal Insurrection even the CDC doesn’t trust the CDC testing/tracking anymore :
At the end of last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a concerning laboratory alert.
The agency announced that after December 31, 2021, it will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel. The test came out in February 2020 to detect the SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., the coronavirus causing COVID019 only.)
CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing.
Hmmmm. Since they had no flu to track last year the ‘scientists’ don’t know what to put in this year’s flu vaccine – but what do you want to bet they encourage everyone to get a flu shot this year anyway?
And the Covid ‘vaccine’ - which isn’t really a vaccine - still allows it’s recipients to infect others with Covid that they themselves can’t get because…vaxxed! My head is swimming. In circles.
And still, we’re the problem here?
But we’re the ones dazed and confused?
Yes, please.
Is there someplace I can just hibernate till this madness passes? Asking for a friend.
P.S. The answer to the above question is yes, as it’s a clear liquid.
H/T to all who’ve been posting the Vaxx memes. Keep them coming, until we’re cancelled.

I think all the ‘flu’ numbers got dumped into the COVID numbers, so the CDC could sew FEAR and CONTROL everyone. Just a guess.
I don’t know, but perhaps you should ask FReeper “gas_dr” who seems to be an expert on everything medical.🤣
Was sick as a dog back in March before last, when the PA device started, then again in April, and again in May. Got tested 3 times (twice without even knowing it), and all 3 times said no covid. So what was it? Just got over another whopper 4 weeks ago. Something sure as heck was going around all that time
Now we learn the tests for it couldn’t even distinguish between flu or covid even if they did come up positive..
The flu likely never left- they dont know what the heck they are doing. Their covid lies, and mass hysteria over Donald Trump have permanently infected their brains
Cured by covid
Oh, its worse than that, the lies are deliberate and serve an agenda which will remain unspoken *extewrmination of hundreds of millions*. Why would such supposed dedicated to your health professionals go along with the several lies supporting the plandemic? ... Well, some haven’t and they are by media insistence, the enemy. If tyou seek a promising investment, invest in Mortuaries that have cremation facilities. They will be very busy in the coming months.
The human flu viruses were all so ‘askeered’ of, and miffed by the CCP-Coronavirus (which the PLA developed from a bat virus) that they decided to leave humans and attack bats. The bat CDC is trying its darndest to develop a vaccine against human flu viruses occurring in bats. </sarc>
Flu went to court and had it’s name changed legally to Covid. /s
Dear facebook
Yes, you can put Vodka in a humidifier.
But you have to taste it first, about a bottle full.

= = =
I experienced almost the exact same thing and same dates. March 2020 I think you mean. And again in May. Tested officially = not detected. Multiple blood donations = no antibodies. So I’m ?????? at this time.
Ok, now that’s funny.
their tests did not distinguish. call it the asterisk variant
the same health professionals that push this say that there are now pregnant men.
Yes, March 2020. Fever but only to 101 briefly, weak, shaky, breathing problems, hot/cold, diarheah, stomach issues, no appetite. Stayed in bed basically for a couple of days which is not usual for me, but I really felt lousy
I didn’t lose sense of smell or taste though, even this last time 4 weeks ago.
I’m guessing it was flu. I had gotten the flu shot the previous year around Nov too.
They would give you a PIC test. PIC stands for pneumonia, influenza, covid. They can’t tell the difference either. Better hurry and get your jab!
Yup, that is what I think as well. We had a flu season; but, if you showed up at the doc's office, it would probably be put down as COVID.
If you drill down into the report, you will eventually find that the COVID test gave false positives of COVID in cases of the flu.
Trust the science, they say. The CDC is just a political pawn.
