Mysterious Disappearance of Flu in San Diego Prompted Call for Audit of COVID Records

One of the most bizarre features of the alleged COVID-19 ‘global pandemic’ has been the mysterious disappearance of the seasonal flu in medical and public health record keeping. It’s as if the Flu just vanished into thin air after being the most common perennial seasonal respiratory virus.
As it turns out, recorded seasonal influenza cases have literally nosedived by 98% across the globe.
This improbable phenomenon has led a number of experts to ask, “Has Covid killed off the flu?”
“The disappearing act began as Covid-19 rolled in towards the end of our flu season in March. And just how swiftly rates have plummeted can be observed in ‘surveillance’ data collected by the World Health Organisation (WHO),” reported the UK’s Daily Mail.
.
WHO spokesperson, Dr Sylvie Briand, recently claimed during a press briefing that “literally there was nearly no flu in the Southern hemisphere” of the planet Earth in 2020, but gave no real explanation as to why. She then went on to extend this magical thinking saying that, “We hope that the situation will be the same in the Northern Hemisphere.”
Truly extraordinary science by the health experts at the WHO.
Earlier in December, Southern California news outlet KUSI raised the alarm which prompted an audit of COVID statistics in their region…
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – COVID-19 cases continue to increase across California, and here in San Diego County, but flu cases remain extremely low in comparison to this time in previous years.
We are well into flu season, but San Diego County’s data for flu infections only shows 36 reported cases so far this year. Carl DeMaio tweeted out this shocking revelation, comparing it to this time in other years saying, “In a typical year we get over 17,073 on average!”
DeMaio explained, “if you are going to use a set of numbers like COVID stats to shut down the economy, to take people’s livelihoods away, then we have to really look closely at what those numbers really mean, and whether those numbers are giving us the right picture.” Continuing, “my concern has been from the get go, that we are relying on numbers from government agencies, that may have a different agenda at stake. We would benefit from having a different set of eyes looking at them, such as an auditor or a citizens review committee. Because again, the decisions being made on these data sets are sweeping, the lockdowns are far reaching in terms of their impact.”
DeMaio then said San Diego County has refused to have any look over or vet our local COVID-19 numbers.
Chairman of Reform California, Carl DeMaio, joined KUSI’s Jason Austell on Good Morning San Diego to explain why he is calling for a “full audit of the COVID-19 data we are seeing reported from our public health system.”
As different pressure groups and journalists begin to demand answers from the various health authorities, it’s becoming clear now that there has likely been some degree of widespread, systemic administrative fraud designed to over-inflate COVID-19 numbers to the detriment of every other normal seasonal illness or disease.

Granted, this data is from 2018, which is the most current I can find, and it is from the CDC. Data numbers would NOT change that much from year to year, but seemingly every disease, accident or suicide has been replaced with Covid. It’s a freakin’ MIRACLE! If you don’t catch Covid, you’re going to live forever now, so plan accordingly! *SNORT*
Leading Causes of Death
Data are for the U.S.
Number of deaths for leading causes of death
Heart disease: 655,381
Cancer: 599,274
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 167,127
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 159,486
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 147,810
Alzheimer’s disease: 122,019
Diabetes: 84,946
Influenza and pneumonia: 59,120
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,386
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 48,344
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm
However, this data, compiled by the ‘JAMA Network’ (whoever they are) says that Covid is the THIRD highest cause of death for Americans in 2020.

So, who ya gonna believe? I guess it depends upon what policies you want pushed and what liberties obliterated!

COVID-19 Pt. 2: CDC’s New “PIC” and The Hidden Data:
“Most people aren’t aware that the CDC has lumped influenza together with Covid and pneumonia in death rates with a new name called “PIC.” This comes after the CDC confirmed that only 6% of Covid-related death certificates indicate Covid as the only cause, while 94% list other illnesses as the cause with an average of 2.6 comorbidities.” ~~

The Johns Hopkins Newsletter: A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19:
” ... the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19. This suggests,according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading. Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19.”

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.Japan, with a population of 139M, has, in spite of avoiding lockdowns, a total of 3,243 Coronavirus deaths.
From what I understand, they quarantine those who have the virus and also those who have been in contact with them. They would, for instance, quarantine everybody who shared a subway car with that person. Everybody else is free to live their lives.
3,243 Coronavirus deaths in a country of 139,000,000 people.

The CDC does not track actual flu cases, for the past decade or so the flu numbers it reported are
ESTIMATED flus cases.
This dempanic has been in the planning stages for quite a while.
2020 is when all the props were staged for the grand opening, uh closing...

PIC? They must have updated it since I'd heard CIP, which followed CIRD (COVID, Influenza, and Related Diseases)...

A quickly suppressed study by a researcher at Johns Hopkins analyzing CDC death data also questioned why deaths due to cancer, heart disease and stroke have diminished during the pandemic while the total deaths from all causes remained about the same. A study instituted by two Minnesota state legislators also found deaths from suicide, car accidents and dementia being recorded as COVID deaths and estimated as much as a 40% over reporting of COVID deaths in that state.

“What is apparent to me is that Covid is spiking”
In many states, not in all.
In Colorado we peaked Nov 13 and cases have dropped ever since, from 6000 a day to a recent low of 1400. It’s like backwards of what it should be doing.
I’ve noticed some other states have a similar pattern.

Nothing mysterious - when human contact is reduced by 95%, the flu has a tough time spreading.

Thanks. We're all on the mend.
On the plus side, I think we might be able to sell antibody laden plasma after we're done with the quarantine...

The lib argument would say that all those ‘Flu’ people got killed off by Covid instead.
To: SeekAndFind
Yeah, I explained this fact to my Canadian friend who leans left, and he really tried to argue that maybe the flu just didn’t infect anyone this year because everyone was quarantining inside. It’s amazing how people will engage in pretzel logic just to avoid challenging their dearly-held assumptions.
