Funny how mainstream media reports in big headlines “Covid cases” but there’s no flu this flu season? Where did old fashioned flu go? It disappeared? Used to kill 50k to 80k per year with no headlines, no panic, no lockdowns, no businesses closed. Now wrapped into COVID.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Flu and covid are two different viral infections. testing does not overlap. A flu infection will not give a positive covid test or vice versa. While we have t seen much fly yet there may be a couple reasons. Those getting tests for covid who are negative may not pursue further testing to determine if they have flu. it is also early, there are many years where influenza season has not started until January or even February
They are making physicians count anyone with a fever as covid POSITIVE.
And this is important: They must be counted as covid positive if they have a fever EVEN IF THEY TEST NEGATIVE FOR COVID.
So a person could have a fever from influenza A or B, but they are all counted as COVID patients!
A person could have a fever from a bladder infection, but they are still thrown into the covid count simply because they have a fever.
Therefore, the daily covid counts and deaths include anything that causes a fever.
It mandated by the state health department and is grossly inflating covid cases and covid deaths.
It is lying!
In Colorado’s Grand County, the coroner was on the news complaining that 2 of the 5 reported covid deaths were killed by gunshot wounds, but because they had a positive test within 30 days, they counted it as covid.
Yes there is. There have been 287,000 flu tests conducted this flu season and over 660 positive tests. Source. Flu season peaks at different times each year, more often than not that peak happens in January or February. Source.
"Used to kill 50k to 80k per year"
No it didn't. Seasonal flu kills an average of 36,000 people per year; not 50,000-80,000. Preliminary estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season are 22,000 deaths in total. Source.
" He makes a good point. Heard NOTHING about the flu this winter.. "
No he doesn't. The tweet is nonsense posted to stir up fear and confusion in those too ignorant to know better and too lazy to find out. Don't be led around like a puppy. Do your own research against any claims anyone makes, including me. But please be sure to research against authoritative sources and not nutjob conspiracy theory websites or Fakebook.
Covid 19 killed the flu.
Hospitals are paid thousands to call it Covid 19.
Covid may end up killing cancer.
And video killed the radio star.
I am not surprised.
The covid cases and death numbers are about as fake as the 2020 election.
What they are forcing doctors to do is criminal.
And the whole election was criminal.
Hospitals don’t fill out death certificates. If you think doctors are risking their licenses, careers, and freedom to defraud the Federal government because their boss told them to, that’s just crazy. Hospitals are making less than 2% of their annual revenues in COVID-19 reimbursements from the Feds and trying to force doctors to lie and forge death certificates in order to commit fraud would invariably bring about widespread whistleblowing. That would lead to fraud investigations, which would lead to hospitals being shut out of all Federal payments during a very long and painful investigation. It’s unlikely they would survive - financially - during that period.
So you think the hospitals are risking being shut down by trying to force doctors to commit fraud so they can squeeze 2% extra revenue? And you think doctors and family members across the country are just going along with this with no incentive whatsoever?
And the media are hyping it up just like the fake coverage of the election.
Scream all you want.
If I die in a car accident tomorrow and test positive for Kung-Flu, I died of Kung-Flu and you know it.
You better be careful. The Covidians are gonna get mad at you. They want the year without a nation to continue.
I mentioned the follow the money line several months ago, your statements are correct.
Covid pays big numbers for the insurance, hospital bottom line.
And yes, Covid by virtue of the lack of accurate real diagnosis through autopsy by design has cured cancer flu, in fact every known illness to mankind. /S
They know it, and they hope we are stupid enough to not notice.
No, because no doctor is risking their medical license, career, and freedom to defraud the Federal government for no benefit.
This conspiracy theory doesn’t play out in real life, because people are reliably unreliable. You’d never every doctor in all 6,000 hospitals on board with this with no upside and huge downsides, to say nothing of the families of over 320,000 dead people. All willing to be party to fraud for no benefit and no apparent reason. Because some bureaucrat in hospital administration says so? Give me a break.
And they love it when you speak of them in military terms like “front lines”, “heroes”, “the fight”. The stress causes them to break out in spontaneous choreographed dance routines. Very odd. I suggest we call in the “Rogers and Hammerstein Virus”.
Their is no conspiracy.
Did the deceased have Kung-Flu?
Bamm. 30k
That’s not how it works.
Have you see a US Standard Certificate of Death? Do you understand Sec 32? How many have you filled out?

Nice to meet you. I travel the seaboard over here.

OK. How many have flu right now.
