I've been posting about viral interference in all of these threads since they started and no one ever cares

My pharmacist told me she has only filled one Tamiflu prescription this season.

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.
THANK YOU!
People are so fricking dumb.

Schools are a huge flu spreader usually as well and those are virtual or being very cautious these days as well.
Almost like all these precautions are working against the flu. Crazy!

Speaking of the flu, I got a flu shot yesterday. I'll report back if I die from it.

TLDR: the mutated COVID is eating the Flu, like a viral Walking Dead

This is all being setup to enforce mask mandates and lock downs again,
Where are all these lockdowns people talk about ? Seriously . Most on this board are from the South and nothing is locked down . Hell if they want to lock down I could stand some time off
Besides masks, everything is normal where I live

I for one am hoping masks will be more socially acceptable and people do wear them every winter.
As a choice, sure. Mandated? frick off ?
So no more flu vaccines? Do we trade immunizations for masks or do we max out all so called protections and live our lives in a bubble too scared to venture out into the world? Screw that, I'll take my chances and live a full life as a free and independent thinking American.

so are you 2 morons just ignoring the actual scientific explanation in this thread?
while simultaneously saying other people ignore facts because their beliefs have become a religion to them?
because that is what it appears like to me

Can’t have it both ways
If masks stop the flu and NOT COVID - but the flu ALSO interferes with COVID
Shouldn’t we NOT wear masks so that we get the “non-pandemic” flu and let it interfere with getting COVID?

...what?
pretty sure all evidence suggests that COVID is winning the interference battle
hence...no flu

Dude, have you spent any time in New Orleans recently? Why don't you come down to Mardi Gras and report back to us how it was this year. Or if you are in Bham, how is Highlands Bar and Grill doing these days? Eaten there recently?

He just said masks stop the flu and COVID stops the flu, but masks don’t stop the COVID

He said masks most likely work better on the flu, as the flu is not as contagious as COVID, due to several factors

it could yes, but all evidence points to COVID overwhelmingly blocking the flu
we have seen this before with rhinoviruses and the flu

the fact that, literally everywhere, when COVID numbers increase, flu numbers decrease

the mask thing is most likely pretty irrelevant and doesn't have that much of an effect
