U.S. flu season has arrived on schedule after taking a year off, with flu hospitalizations rising and two child deaths reported.
Last year's flu season was the lowest on record, likely because COVID-19 measures — school closures, distancing, masks and canceled travel — prevented the spread of influenza, or because the coronavirus somehow pushed aside other viruses.
During last year's unusually light flu season, one child died. In contrast, 199 children died from flu two years ago, and 144 the year before

“Unusually light flu last year”.
They think we are that stupid.
“It’s just COVID, bro!”
Well many are that stupid.
A year off. Yeah, sure. No doubt about that. Because the flu didn’t want to be play second fiddle to Covid-19. [/s]
Unusual is the operative word.
Here we go.....
I was wondering if influenza, flu, colds, and mono have just disappeared.
As the comments to this ridiculous article attest.
In all fairness don’t believe for a minute the comments aren’t screened.
“or because the coronavirus somehow pushed aside other viruses.”
It also somehow pushed aside heart attacks, strokes, gun shots, car wrecks and all other causes of death.
Nothing whatsoever to do with the faulty PCR tests that will be discontinued in a few days but that they kept for close to a year after finding they were junk and couldn’t tell covid from the flu. Case numbers are junk due to the junk tests.
“Unusual.” Yeah.

The Branch Covidians are folding up their tents and becoming FluBros.
They just called everything the Fauci/China biological warfare virus last year. There is no test to tell the difference.
Not if they served the purpose they were intended to serve, PANIC.
Gee or MAYBE flu cases were being reported as COVID!
>>Flu is making a comeback in US after an unusual year off<<
Hahaha...This headline brought a chuckle in me. Unusual year off. lol
Fact is that the PCR test for Covid will ping positive even with the Rhinovirus and or Influenza viruses. Pushing up the Covid positive numbers along with deaths from other reasons labeled Covid because of a positive result such as motorcycle accidents leading to death but the dude showed positive on a PCR.
We have been deceived in to believing all PCR Covid positive test results were indeed Covid when in fact...they were not.
Wifey works for one of the largest medical care corps in the country. Trust me...it’s all about positive Covid $$ reimbursements $$ from Uncle Sugar.
Shameful!
Of course they did. Didn’t you get the memo, everything is Covid now.
It was the lowest on record because all the flu cases were listed as covid. Now that the PCR test has been changed this month it can detect the difference. We have been warned this would happen. You will see covid drop off the scale. Why do you think there is the hysterical push for vaccines going on lately?
