#2 Get paid reporting death due to Covid, get no pay reporting death due to flu. Guess what all the 'flu' deaths are reported as this year. It's all corrupt from top to bottom.

#3 Same thing happened in Australia during their winter. Well known fact, not widely reported.

#4 I suppose it is possible that the flu was 'crowded out' by COVID.

But I'll put my money on influenced by the money.

#5 With every one taking some form of added precautions. I could understand some legitiment reduction in the number of cases.

But under 20, in population of 342 million.
There is just No Way.

#8 No mystery. They are all being counted as COVID.

As are the drug overdoses and drive-by shootings, I'd presume.

#10 Someone was explaining how the decline in flu cases was due to masks and social distancing.

I said, "So why doesn't that work on COVID?"

I guess it was a rhetorical question.

#11 I usually get 2 - 4 upper respiratory infections every year, with at least one of them at flu level of severity, in spite of a flu shot.

Since a year age, not even a sniffle.
