This is interesting, i recall back in January we were at roughly 45k deaths from the common flu. this flu season. But somehow since then there have only been 5,000 deaths of Flu. Riiiiiight. We were on track for it being one of the deadliest flu seasons in a decade or more. Then suddenly they stop

It's also because COVID-19 seeded waaay earlier in the United States than they thought. It was here in December, probably even November. They just didn't know it was COVID-19. And be aware, the seed date for a disease is key to pandemic modeling. They got the date wrong; therefore all the predictions are wrong. And here we are, destroying businesses the world over, for a deeply flawed model.
