So SARS-CoV-2 had a surge in cases during the fall. Which is expected. But not the flu? That's suspicious as fuck. The flu is endemic, it doesn't just disappear. And lots of people have been unable to get their flu shot too. Makes you wonder if the government is putting down flu cases as COVID. That sounds crazy though. But how else would you explain flu cases being so low?
Either:
lockdowns starting in mid-March were very effective at preventing flu spread (very unlikely)
individuals stopped seeking health care for flu in mid-march, and flu didn'tre-appear this fall yet (extremely unlikely)
COVID is actually a bad flu, and flu tests were changed to not detect it (requires conspiracy at high levels)
I'm puzzled because none of these are good explanations.
Hahaha, good to know that I got my COVID vaccine on Tuesday.
