Basically a cold and flu test now.

The numbers I recall are that prior to covid, 60 to 70K died per year to influenza. In 2021, it was like 1,925. Seems dubious.

No link, it's from memory, but I saw multiple stories that oddly never got any traction on doctors and researchers reporting that influenza numbers were down over 90% in the US, and the death rate from influenza was something like a 95% reduction from pre-corrvid years.
That comports with my memory also - the reason I ventured to start this thread. I sorta doubted it was that stark a difference at the time, so I didn't participate in spreading it as a talking point. Then it died out as an issue I recall seeing much anymore.
I think the mask has a place in stopping liquid particles from spreading onto surfaces within a few feet of the cougher. And certainly someone with a cough ought to at least appear to be trying to limit the spread of the cough-mist.

I asked a couple dozen nurses at local hospitals if they were still performing flu tests, because I thought the 98% drop in flu diagnosis had to be a testing anomaly. They invariably said they started with a flu panel and only then would they perform a Covid test.
When positive flu tests began increasing again you can see a smooth parabolic shape to the curve. I never wore a mask (knew the history of evidence) or took the shot or a test, but believe the unprecedented drop in flu cases was true and real.
The term is “viral interference”. They compete with one another for dominance much like bacterial flora in your gut. I believe the common cold virus was altered enough (see Furin cleavage site) genetically that the populations previously acquired immunity was rendered useless and was naïve to this artificial variant allowing it to overtake the other respiratory infections.
You can see this effect well illustrated if you look up the “Glasgow Influenza Study”. 2009’s (swine?) flu epidemic shows how it suppressed other respiratory viruses.
And to answer the original question…the average infection fatality rate of the flu is around 0.1%. The IFR for Covid is generally agreed to be about .15%…on par with a “bad flu season”. It was never 3.6% like the imperial college of London and our retard media said.

The CDC didn’t officially track it, IIRC.
Missouri, as a state, had 1 Pneumonia and Influenza death for 2020, IIRC. Usually, the state averaged several thousand pneumonia/influenza deaths per year.

Muh masks!

after the first generation of the marxian bioweapon, it went down by approximately the same as the number of "covid" deaths
odd that

I do know that the state of Missouri prior to covid routinely reported 140 to 180 annual deaths from the flu. 2020 was about 10.

Hope it was helpful. I feel like I could do a 3 hour presentation on the past 3 years??
