I saw a graph some months back where we were having a pretty bad flu season and then our flu case count dropped off a cliff once Covid happened. I thought it was awfully considerate of the flu to stop attacking people so we wouldn’t have two diseases at once.
Unfortunately, this chart is like a month old though.
You can find that data right at the source, the CDC.

This "Flu View" shows the drop off on Week 14 (Week of March 30... what happened then I wonder?)
It's happening all over the world:

The flu season ends around May anyways, so would that make it still relevant and accurate?
Yes. The flu season started about a month before the numbers in the article were published. 6 cases is, in the Canadian government's own words, "exceptionally low".
This phenomenon is happening all over the world. Authorities are saying in the southern hemisphere that the regular flu season was "skipped", "fell off a cliff", etc., while at the same time, miraculously, Covid cases skyrocketed.
Because on the chart it says they started counting again in August, but it only counts up through mid September.
I’m just curious if it’s still less than 10 in mid October
Its still eye opening. Godamn we need to open this fucking country. Stop wearing masks. If anyone asks just say "I have a medical exemption." They can't do anything about it. If you want insult to injury, make sure you're wearing a Trump hat.
yep, every cold/flu is going to be covid because of the scamdemic.
it's fucked up the hospitals and doctors are being incentivized by this with more tax payer money across the globe... except india and china for some reason...
It's a combination of everyone actually doing the hygiene they were told to do for half a century and nobody going to the hospital for fear of getting covid. So most flus are "nah man, I'm fine, never felt better, please don't take my job away".
You are talking all of that on top of counting flu deaths as covid deaths correct?
No, but considering they counted death on a motorcycle as covid deaths a couple places, I can't really discount it either.
I'm just talking about the normal kind of guys I work around and the fear of having covid.
some of us have allergies you know.
Well, don't forget we are counting deaths here. So if they did indeed not go to the doctor and died from the flu we would (hopefully) still see that show up as the cause of death. In no statistical world can this type of discrepancy be possible. We have years of data from the flu. Watching those trends be so far off of the norm this year is impossible.
They counted an alcohol poisoning in Colorado as COVID, fuckers....
You think flu deaths went from 42,000 to 6 because of people washing their hands?
Cases, not deaths. Still an insane discrepancy.
see the masks work keep them on forever peasants we solved influenza! /s

I think the 2020-2021 flu season just started
It started about a month before the numbers in the article were published. 6 cases is, in the Canadian government's own words, "exceptionally low".
This phenomenon is happening all over the world. Literally authorities are saying in the southern hemisphere that the regular flu season was "skipped", "fell off a cliff", etc., while at the same time, miraculously, Covid cases skyrocketed.
Beginning to think perhaps the self-proclaimed "experts" may not be being entirely honest with us. Kind of get the feeling that they may not have had our best interests at heart after all, but rather they've had their best interests at heart.

Just like antifa put on the blm tshirt, the flu put on the covid tshirt.
Aug 23, 2020 to Sep 19, 2020 is 4 weeks. They've had 6 cases in 4 weeks. Scale it over a year, 6 * 52 / 4 = 78 cases.
78 / 42541 = 0.18% of the previous years' activity, that's 555 times less than the year before.
Draw your own conclusions.
[ spez: u/lastcubestanding points out that infection season works on a bell curve, and you’d expect low infection rates at the beginning and end of it, so my math is plain wrong as I’m extrapolating using that low number, and assuming it would remain the same throughout the season, which it clearly won’t.
I violated Rule VIII, Dont be dumb. :(
I’ll leave this post up though, hubris and all that... ]
Except infection season works on a bell curve. So you would expect there to be the least cases at the beginning and the end with the most in the middle. Drawing a conclusion from that math is lying to yourself.
The Canadian government has already said the number is "exceptionally low". It should be nowehere near 6 total cases after one month into flu season, and it is not an isolated incident.:

I see your point. I had mulled that a bit, but thought that Aug-Sep in Canada would be quite severe in terms of weather.
Thinking on it further, you’re absolutely right, the severity of the weather is irrelevant, and of course now I’m seeing a normal distribution and standard deviations in my head, teasing me.
I’ll edit my post, thanks for picking it up, looks like I violated Rule VIII...

True, but my maths was still wrong. I don't doubt that the number is far far less than last year, but it's not 555 times less.
Don't get me wrong, I totally get (and agree with) the point of the post.
RIP 2020-2021 Flu. Killed by Covid. So young. If only the Flu had worn a mask.
Not even surprised.
It’s also amazing that thanks to COVID, people have stopped dying of old age. PRAISE KEK!
Nah, the common cold and flu have been eradicated.
Its not fashionable and you can't control anyone through it so voila! Instant international cure that you dont even have to take
I hope you realized this is the retards plan for extending the lockdowns forever. “See how many lives are being saved because the flu isn’t spreading!?! Must be commie cowards forever.”
As we all know COVID kills all other viruses. It kills cancer. It stops deaths from heart disease, high blood pressure. It even stops deaths from gunshot wounds.
To be fair, the flu season is only just starting. Give it a few months, and when it still hasn't moved past double digits (I highly doubt it will) then post again.

Flu season numbers for 2020-2021 just started. This is a bad comparison (at the moment) but something to keep your eye on.
https://thedonald.win/p/HrFayfQ5/x/c/1994fWye8Y
Does anyone have the average mortality vs 20-21 mortality for the USA? I saw Sarah H Saunders Sent a tweet about us being on course for lower deaths than last year, but can’t find those same stats...
Under 40 and the death rate is less than the regular flu. And that's if you believe the inflated death counts.
I’m not talking about Covid, I’m taking about mortality PERIOD.
If 210k people die from Covid, but only 350k people Did this year vs 360k last year - I think that’s a HUGE stat we should know.
Possibly unpopular opinion but they only run a flu test for more severe cases, is it possible that population died from covid and thus there are fewer vulnerable population?
Everybody's "dying" from covid. That 's the point. Even people who die of regular flus, heart attacks, car accidents, etc. As an example, in Sweden, they count you as a covid death if you had it at any time in the preceeding 30 days, regardless what you actually died of. All over the world, if you had or were suspected to have covid, it's counted as a covid death.
The non-existent flu numbers this flu season are completely not what the "experts" expected, and it's happening all over the world, despite the fact that covid cases are skyrocketing in many places:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/sep/17/falling-flu-rates-in-southern-hemisphere-offers-hope-as-winter-approaches-coronavirus
And don't even get me started on the the PCR test, which is complete bullshit (90%+ false positives). And a lot of the people who get covid aren't even diagnosed with a test. I've seen counties in the US that count you as a probable case if you have a cough or headache FFS, and they are adding those probables to total cases in many areas.
I spy with my little eye, something funny going on here.
That's misleading. That only started counting flu cases since August 2020.

Yes, but it would be about one a week.
I did provide a source, if you looked at the comments. I can't post a link and an image at the same time. I also provided the leading paragraph in the article on top of the screenshot.
