Has Covid killed off the flu? Experts pose the intriguing question as influenza cases nosedive by 98% across the globe 10/24/2020, 9:01:53 PM · by captaincaveman · 54 replies The Daily Mail ^ | October 24, 2020 | Jo McFarlane In the Southern Hemisphere, where the flu season happens during our summer months, the WHO data suggests it never took off at all. In Australia, just 14 positive flu cases were recorded in April, compared with 367 during the same month in 2019 – a 96 per cent drop. By June, usually the peak of its flu season, there were none. In fact, Australia has not reported a positive case to the WHO since July. In Chile, just 12 cases of flu were detected between April and October. There were nearly 7,000 during the same period in 2019.
Combined with the 90% of the positive corona virus cases not deemed contagious, then it sure looks to me like someone is manipulating the numbers to skew them to make the corona virus cases look like they are out of control.
People are making money and political hay out of this pandemic. It's human nature to make it look worse if there is money in it for the hospitals who code everything that comes in their doors as covid.
Liberal politicians and the globalists can use the "spiked" numbers to make Trump look like he's a failure in dealing with the pandemic in order to get him out of office. It's no coincidence that the Biden campaign has chosen to focus on the corona virus the last two weeks of the campaign instead of things like improving the economy.
There is an entire cottage industry grown up around dealing with this corona virus, like wearing masks. People are wearing masks as fashion statements now. Doesn't look to stop anytime soon.
Social distancing requirements have generated millions of dollars in profits for the commercial printing industry by printing decals and stickers for businesses to place on the floors to keep people apart.
One thing that would actually make people safer is hardly mentioned anymore and yet it is the best way to keep from getting the virus. Washing your hands regularly and not touching your eyes, nose or mouth with them is the best way. But there's no money in that.
Call me a cynic but I can see a government scam a mile off after 7 decades on this earth. I've lived through numerous pandemics before and hardly a peep was heard from the news media, medical experts or government officials about them at the time. People died and the world moved on.
This is the first pandemic that required masks, social distancing, lockdowns and shutting down the economy in my entire life. Why? Again, call me a cynic but the democRATS have a stake in making this thing look as bad as they can make it because of the election year.
Ruin Trump's booming economy, have millions of people lose their jobs that requires a couple of gigantic stimulus packages to take care of them. Just coincidental that they pack the bills with decades long liberal pork projects on top of helping the citizens. Get rid of Trump. Practice their population control methods by playing wannabe dictators in the blue states. Justify the riots, arson and looting or our cities. And on and on and on.
There are reasons this virus was treated differently than previous ones. It's not hard to see by the manipulation of the facts and numbers. Again, call me a cynic, but someone has been playing loose and free with the numbers to benefit their ideology and it has very little to with the actual danger from the virus itself.
