February is usually the peak of flu season, with doctors' offices and hospitals packed with suffering patients. But not this year. Flu has virtually disappeared from the U.S., with reports coming in at far lower levels than anything seen in decades.

LOL. Yes, I remember those days when my 2 girls would bring everything home with them and I would always be the one to catch whatever it was.
LMAO who believes this nonsense??
RE: LMAO who believes this nonsense??
Which “nonsense” are you referring to?
Lowest flu season!
Just call flu “covid.”
Voila!
Every year like clockwork, my household will get the flu around the end of December up into February. Nobody got sick this year. I’m guessing it’s got a lot to do with my kids not being at school right now to catch and bring something home.
“Many parents will tell you that this year their kids have been as healthy as they’ve ever been, because they’re not swimming in the germ pool at school or day care the same way they were in prior years,” Mick said.
We test for flu and covid and we have mountains of clinical evidence to support any covid diagnosis.
US has ‘lowest flu season’ on record during COVID pandemic: Whether it was social distancing or more people getting their shots, the flu season has virtually disappeared at a time when oddly enough Trump is no longer President, strange right?
Social distancing and masks. Also that businesses are closed and people are staying home. What it shows is that these measures are working and that covid infections would likely be far higher if these measures were not in place. It also makes you wonder about the accuracy of statistics provided by other nations. My suspicion is that they are vastly more understating the degree of covid infection in their countries.
RE: anyone who died with COVID as having died from COVID.
I am not sure if this distinction is significant at all. The above reasoning is used by many to downplay the lethality of Covid-19, but is it not that lethal?
Say, someone had cancer and died while being diagnosed with Covid.
We would like to say that he died of cancer, not Covid. But this begs the question — IF HE DID NOT HAVE COVID, how many years longer could he have lived?
Was Covid not a reason for accelerating the day of his demise?
we can say that Covid did not kill him, cancer did. But was having Covid NOT a contributing factor to his early death? If so, Covid is STILL deadly an we cannot downplay its seriousness.
“You were in a negative 4G dive, inverted with a Mig?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“So you’re the one...”
The rapd nasal tes for both flu and ccp take about 15 minutes. My daughter had symptoms, went to urgent care and got tested for both. Both were negative. She also had the longer ccp test also negative. Hard to believe that a hospital ER would not do the same for every arrival with flu like symptoms. CCP ain’t the Flu.
If masks actually worked to stop flu why didn’t they stop covid? Covid cases literally exploded in spite of mask mandates all over the place. I think masks actually made the covid spread worse.
We have absolutely "0" idea whether they actually prevented the spread of Covid....
We saw the curve go up and down and stay level.
We locked folks in their homes. We shut down businesses. We shut the schools.
As we increased testing, cases went up. And the majority of those cases were people that had been homebound. Cuomo was stunned. It was unexpected.
So what did we learn...take a lot of tests and you will get a lot of cases. The death rate remained the same.
“If you give out money for COVID deaths then everything looks like a COVID death.”
LOL! Like if you give out money to research globull warming, it shows up everywhere too.
Shall we maintain 6 foot distancing and face masks and elderly endlessly shut away from their families in long term care facilities for the rest of time to avoid giving up the “upper hand” we’ve achieved over influenza?
I suspect that’s coming.
Because Flu and Pneumonia have been COVIDIZED!
I think they did. Which means it would be even worse if we did not have them.
CDC still says 94% of “covid” deaths involved an average of 2.6 comorbidities. There’s no way anyone can rationally say 100% of that 94% would have lived if they didn’t gete covid. Morbidities cause death.
CDC says 160K die every year from chronic lower respiratory diseases, well ever year except for 2020!
