“””Also we were all wearing masks, distancing and washing our hands BEFORE traditional flu season started and that may have kept it from getting a foothold like in a normal year.
But for whatever reason, we just are not seeing influenza this year.””””
I also am not surprised at the low numbers for regular influenza cases. When people intentionally do not closely interact with other people the opportunity for a virus to spread is reduced.
I suspect we will also see a reduction in auto accidents and deaths in 2020.
On the other hand the deaths from suicides and drug overdoses will likely be higher in 2020.
Just got my auto insurance bill. It went up. Maybe they are clawing back the rebates from last year..
