re: The low flu cases

You do get we’re talking about two different levels of contagion correct? One with a long established vaccine as well?
Or maybe you don’t.
Let me dumb this down for y’all
A and B are similar in size and transmission rates
GRANTING the interference argument in it’s entirety
A - B - (A * current rate) = left over
50 - 26 - (50 * .02) = 23
-A has a well established vaccine but still has 50
-B has a new vaccine but the 26 is related to NO vaccine (thereby making the vaccine argument moot if the interference argument is granted)
Problem: explain the 23
Proposed Solution
If masks, social distancing, hand washing works THEN A goes down
Problem
B is not going down, but in many cases UP
Since B is not going down WITH all these measures and B is similar to A in size and transmission...
What happened to the 23 million left over from A?

let me dumb this down for you
A =/= B
B is more contagious. B is smaller in size. B has a much longer incubation period.
B's numbers are also based on confirmed cases, whereas A's numbers are based on an estimate.
Also A wasn't 50 million, but 35.5 million LINK

Really all you’re doing is just showing us how flawed your “argument” is. This isn’t high level biology here.

Theories out there suggest "The Man" is working on facial recognition technology to recognize people even while wearing masks. I don't care either way about that. But I do think contradictory statements people make trying to defend or explain the vanishing of the flu versus COVID running rampant are funny. They're so quick to criticize anyone who questions it as stupid... then at the same time they're oblivious to the contradictions in their rationale for no flu v. rampant COVID.

-Not necessarily
-False - I listed the sizes earlier
-Also false - the incubation period for COVID is estimated at 5-6 days. The Flu is can be 4-7 days
Not enough difference to even sniff wiping out 23 million cases
As per your case numbers, I pulled those straight from the 2019-2020 CDC range

We’ve had 6 flu cases today so far

so are you 2 morons just ignoring the actual scientific explanation in this thread?
Why are you continuously trying to delegitimize our opinions by questioning our intelligence? Why not allow your argument to stand on its own?

while simultaneously saying other people ignore facts because their beliefs have become a religion to them?
I mean look how you’re treating this situation. You’ve become irrational and are insulting our intelligence. You defend the “science” as if you are defending your child from a bully.
Not to mention that this “science” as much as it has. In old enough to remember faucci telling us all that masks were useless, and so we’re lockdowns.

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.
OK, but like all conspiracists you leave out the why. Why would anyone want the whole country wearing masks? They would have to wear them too, and that sucks. I know a guy who thinks the government is trying to kill us all. OK, but why?

Flu cases down = common sense , not surprising
It is really easy to understand. At this point society is exponentially more distant and crowds everywhere are much smaller and lots of people wear masks ...so any disease that primarily travels from person to person is going to have lower numbers
