While most intelligent individuals can see through the inflated Covid cases and understand the government motives for reporting them, we are also being fed that the flu cases now are extremely low.
This is all being setup to enforce mask mandates and lock downs again, once Covid 19 has mutated away and the influenza virus has come again.

If people would just double mask like they are supposed to we wouldn’t be in this mess. People are always worried about their rights and not the right thing to do.

Why stop at 2 or 3 masks. How about deca-masks? The more the better.
We have some real idiots making these decisions that they won’t follow, but they know the sheep will take it as gospel.

Bruh, this stupid shite has been debunked monthly. Stop being stupid, or at least stop being willfully misinformed by the idiotic media that you consume.

Instead of proclaiming that someone is stupid in an attempt to invalidate their point of view, why not actually provide something of substance and allow the logic of your argument to stand on its own.

Internist here. Flu cases are down. It’s not a hoax. Masks likely work better against the flu than against covid. Also there’s this thing called viral interference. 10 minute YT video on the subject . Science is more interesting than conspiracy theories. So yes, you’re right. Once covid goes away, flu will likely return.

I can do what’s right and worry about our rights as well

I'm just giving you a heads up. Don't get mad at me when you'll be required to wear masks every winter for the rest of your life.

Social distancing and less handshaking/hugging also at play I’m sure.

Once flu returns, will it be more severe?

This is going to blow your mind, but both are true. Plenty of flu cases are reported as covid deaths and covid protocols have majorly cut down flu transmissions.

It’s almost like when people actually wash their hands and wear a mask, a less contagious respiratory illness has a hard time spreading.

Here’s the thing about masks; they hide your identity.

Why would the government want you to hide your identity?
Aren’t they spending billions on facial recognition technology?

Do you think the government wants you to hide your face?

Think about it

Of course.

No one knows. I wouldn’t see why it would. I for one am hoping masks will be more socially acceptable and people do wear them every winter.

That was a very interesting video. I am in a molecular clinical testing lab. We rarely see double infections for viruses. When we do see it, it's usually an adenovirus with something else. We've seen very few positive flu. Immunology is fascinating.

I have not filled any prescriptions for Tamiflu so far this flu season. I am going to have to return over a thousand dollars of expired tamiflu products before next flu season.

That is very, very unusual.
