That’s what I’m watching.
Last year — officially — 100 people died of flu in the US. That’s the 2020-2021 flu season total number of dead.
I think a whole lot of unsuspecting people now have a compromised immune system. This flu season could be really bad. But will people die of “flu”? Or will “COVID” skyrocket?
There was a time when honesty about these numbers really mattered so that good decisions and good policies could be made. But I believe we are well past such quaint thinking.
You bring up excellent points.
Covid will be blamed for those not vaccinated and the flu for those who were vaccinated.
The flu is going to be blamed for some things that it’s never been blamed on before.
