Social What happened to the flu?

[nihilistxn85]

There have been fewer influenza cases in the United States this flu season than in any on record. About 2,000 cases have been recorded since late September, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In recent years, the average number of cases over the same period was about 206,000.
After fears that a “twindemic” could batter the country, the absence of the flu was a much needed reprieve that eased the burden on an overwhelmed health care system.
“We do not know when it will come back in the United States, but we know it will come back,” said Sonja Olsen, an epidemiologist at the C.D.C.

The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.

Lots of people wearing masks

In Japan it is normal for people with the flu to wear a mask, so that they don't spread it.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

They changed the name to "covid 19"'.......duh

 

[ultramanhyata]

It's almost like masking, social distancing and lockdowns prohibit the spread of viruses.

Also indicates how significantly more transmissible and lethal COVID is relative to seasonal flu.

 

[Squarechoke]

The pandemic causes people to take a lot of measures to stop the spread of a virus (keeping distance, having better hand hygiene, wearing masks, etc) but it's apparently a complete mystery why other viruses have also been affected by such actions.

Social distancing.... closed businesses.... masks .... fewer social gatherings.... working from home. Covid bless....

 

[badascan]

the bird flu? swine flu? bat flu? flu flu? or the other ones that were going to kill the world?

 

[jefferz]

It’s a sad story really. The measles had a mental break down and committed murder-suicide.

Brix admitted that the numbers were cooked, live on tv..

Government paying hospitals for covid patients, 40 cycle threshold set on PCR testing (fucking joke), derp, mAskS!

Yea the flu is going to kill everyone wait no now it’s disappeared into the ether because your government said so and that why you should wear a motorcycle helmet get with it

 

[Tairy Hesticles]

Wouldn't the most likely answer be the combination of everyone wearing masks, and COVID diagnoses taking precedendce over flu diagnoses? If someone has both COVID and the flu, my guess is that they treat and document it as a COVID case. At the same time, wearing masks is obviously helpful at keeping people from breathing germs onto each other, so that has to play a factor as well.

This is Sherdog though, so the answer must be that the shitlibs are conspiring or the conservitards hate science or something.

 

[NFLDer]

WOW! Who would of thought that would happen?

 

[ShinkanPo]

The flo disapeared but this thread gave me brain cancer

 

[UFCUCF]

Looks like those who made the choices to socially distance and wear marks may have helped thousands of our countrymen from getting sick or dying from the flu. That is a good thing.

Is it possible that the flu has been transformed into the covid 19 variant?
