What happened to the Flu?

 

So far this season, labs reporting to the CDC had just 1,585 samples test positive for flu of any kind. Compare that to last year over the same period, when there were more than 183,000 positive samples. Those numbers are making infectious disease specialists come up with some very strange excuses for why this is happening.  

But I will summarize by saying the biggest reason given for the flu seizing being dead is because people aren't as actively congregating, in other words it's the measures being taken for Coronavirus that are squashing the flu.  I don't know who believes that since that same logic should apply to covid-19.

Flu season usually peaks between December and February. Influenza typically causes about 45 million illnesses, 810,000 hospitalizations and 61,000 deaths in the United States each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 

The Centers for Disease Control guidance explicitly acknowledges the uncertainty that doctors can face when identifying the cause of death. When coronavirus cases are “suspected,” the agency counsels doctors that “it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate.”  And it's financially rewarding for hospitals to label deaths covid-19.

The CDC notes that only 6% of the total deaths died of COVID alone, with no other co-morbid conditions. It then reveals that each patient listed had an average of 2.6 other co-morbid conditions.

 

About 3 million people die in the US every year, around 650,000 by heart attacks, and a similar number from cancers. Put into perspective, thousands of alleged COVID deaths normally run about 8,000 people die each day in the America.

Clearly covid-19 numbers have been exaggerated for political and financial reasons.
