Sky News host Rowan Dean says he always predicted once Joe Biden was safely ensconced in the White House the US would see a "sudden drop" in the pandemic panic.

#9  Forgotten upon a credenza
Amidst the frenetic cadenza,
One photo -- no name --
In a nondescript frame
Of our toothless old foe, influenza.

#8   So how long in time will the vaccine be effective ?
Think that is the question.

#7  They want the vaccinated to continue wearing masks. How much confidence does that inspire?

#6   the immunization effect takes a few days to be active.

I’m seeing the claim that the immunization effect of the first jab is something like 60%, and three weeks after the second jab it reaches the full 95%. Do I understand correctly?

60% effect is still going to lower infection rates and severity of infection for those who do catch it

#5  could some of those so called covid deaths be from the flu?
the criteria used for attributing deaths to covid were notoriously lax; cases involving murders and auto accidents were included. also deaths from typical covid causes like pneumonia were attributed to covid even without any testing.
this was in part because hospitals received monetary support for reporting covid deaths, but not for reporting flu deaths.
Its too bad that we can no longer believe anything we are told but do not see with our own eyes.

#2  Yes, the cases are trending lower, but the deaths are not.

64,905 deaths since Biden's inauguration (thru Feb 7)

122,620 since Jan 1.

Put that in your pipe, media slugs, and smoke it.

#1  A few weeks ago I post that Wuhan Flu Season #2 Mortality Rate numbers had peaked in the USA on or about Dec. 12th, 2020. The CDC has since updated its data to show Dec. 26th, 2020 now.

12/26/2020 Week ending date in which the death occurred .

All Deaths involving COVID-19 ----> 20,902

Deaths from All Causes 75,570

Deaths involving COVID-19 and Pneumonia 10,345

All Deaths involving Influenza JUST 25?

It seems the C-19 is a cure for Death by Flu.
Given 2017-2018 FLU season deaths ran over 80,000 and the average is about 45,000 per season.


To me the data shows the Wuhan Flu following a typical Flu Season cycle. Oct/Nov to April/May. Season #1 peaked April 18th, 2020. Season #2 seems so far to have peaked in December 26th, 2020.

I feel the early Peak is a mixture of now knowing some REAL FACTS vs. the CDC/MEDIA/POLITICALLY driven PANIC of Season #1, plus better sanitary practices and Herd Immunity. The VAX could not have played a Major role as it was just starting to roll out on Dec. 20th, 2020 and the immunization effect takes a few days to be active.
