There is nothing to explain. The CDC openly stated they are not requiring anyone to report on influenza. No reporting, no problem comrad.

Same with the common flu, cancer and traffic accidents, completely erased.

Yep! Like you, I’m also thankful for the miraculous drop in deaths across the board!! (*Except for suicide, domestic violence-related deaths, and drug overdoses, which are thru the roof... shh! **Also, in DeBlasio’s NYC, so far in 2021 murder is up 125%)

No it's not. Just you wait, it'll be back on the 20th at around 1:30pm.

It's amazing that when there is a financial incentive such as 13-30K+ to treat and report as a CV case, there is a drastic reduction in other normal causes of death...hmmm

Maybe I’m dyslexic but this graph appears to say positive flu tests have gone way up between week 40 and week 51.

Blue is last year - the non-existent red is this year.

Got it. Thanks.

2019-2020 is in blue. 2020-2021 (now) is in orange. Maybe you missed it, there's not much orange. Orange flu numbers... well, pretty non-existent.

I was mistakenly reading the graph to mean week 40 of the year 2020 through week 51 of the year 2020.

The graph shows both weeks 40-51 of 2019 and 2020 at the same time.

Flu seasons start in the fall and end in the spring time so that is why the seasons are 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. What the graph is showing is the previous flu cycle compared to this one. It’s bad data though as the CDC has stated they are not requiring reporting on influenza cases this cycle to focus on covid.

This could easily be explained by the fact that Coronavirus is more deadly and contagious, so people are getting that instead of Influenza.

I'm trying to write an unbiased book on this subject, using as many statistics as I have available. The actual truth is somewhere in the middle (i.e. it killed a lot of older people, but we should NOT have had to shut down our entire economy).

Why not both

Why would flu stop infecting?

-3
Braineack -3 points ago +1 / -4

Because we are actually being cleaner/safer and staying away from each other. However, somehow COVID is running rampant...

Right, sure, okay

Please go to Chicago and look at all the trash in the ground (masks, gloves), and continue lying to yourself about how everyone is “cleaner” now. People still take shits in alleys too.

Yeah but now they use hand sanitizer after taking a shit in the streets.

Corona is more contagious but less deadly.

My theory is either false reporting or corona uses same glycoprotein pathways to gain entrance to the cells.

But even if COVID19 is 10000x more likely than other corona viruses to infect it doesn't explain a complete eradication; statistically impossible.

I would encourage you not to waste your time writing a book, you don't seem like the brightest bulb in the pack.
