Or, is EVERYTHING including the flu being labeled as COVID-19?

This is the answer.

What Happened to the Flu?

Well golly-gee what's different about this year. Hmmm...could it be that many people are taking measures to mitigate the spread of a virus?

Nawww...couldn't be. There must be some conspiracy because we all know covid is fake.

So masks, social distancing etc works for influenza but is seemingly ineffective against Covid?

They already missed their chance to shutdown the country because of the flu.

If we were doing nothing we'd be much worse off. There are many people that heed the warnings unlike the popular opinions on this board. Why isn't that answer obvious to you?

Can't shut down the country or scare enough sheep with the old fashion flu. Everything is covid now

likely a lot of things

viral interference
restrictions (most of the southern hemisphere was severely locked down)
flu being less contagious than COVID
overlap in testing
etc

So what? Better to die free than to live in a medically run dictatorship.

Who says you can't go die or run around and ignore whatever warnings? You're free to be a dipshit as much as you like.

And I have been since March. If I have killed anyone inadvertently since that time, it was probably worth it as I live in northern Virginia. Chances are they were a Democrat.

Like magic... it is gone! Liberals say it's because people are wearing masks and social distancing.

But COVID, a respiratory virus with similar symptoms that is also transmitted the same way is spreading out of control, with social distancing and people wearing masks.

lso flu is only spread by droplet transmission so wearing masks would actually make a huge difference to lessen the spread of the flu.

Really sorry to break it to you sunshine but outside of your concrete democrat enclaves, nobody is wearing masks. Even the kids in school are wearing them around their necks so one would have to seriously question the effectiveness

They took down the flu statue, thereby ridding the world of flu.

So that's why there is only 1 flu death reported??

We all know the reason why.
