As an RN I can say a 98% drop in flu cases is proof that they are coding EVERYTHING Covid! Our numbers are likely way less than fu cases, but we need the damn truth!! #maskarestupid LINK

Trump eradicated the flu virus in his first term...Not bad...But mental illness has soared thanks to the lying media...Some people will wear a mask and live in fear for the rest of their lives...Amazing to see Americans so easily controlled and gullible...When you don’t wear a mask...You are empowering others...

Then Georgia should be at 90% of normal flu rates, because 90% don't wear a mask correctly, most of those have a mask that doesnt work, all the restaurants that are not major chains are full.
Go to any high school football game in a rural area and its basically like any other year.
Edit to clarify. I don't care if people wear masks or not. I'm just saying if flu cases are near zero its not because of masks because most people don't wear correctly. Just my observation.

Between October 1, 2019 and April 4, 2020, the flu resulted in: 39 to 56 million illnesses. 410,000 to 740,000 hospitalizations. 24,000 to 62,000 deaths

Im testing folks and my positive tests have increased in the last three weeks. Of the 200+ people I’ve tested not a single one has even been to the hospital.

It will be interesting to see how flu numbers compare to covid. There is definitely a reconciliation coming because people will start realizing:
YES! We can avoid all these diseases and spreading them in the community!
BUT! We must live a life of physical distance, masks, & shutdowns?
We could all live in bubbles to prevent plenty of diseases. The question will be, do we want to?
Life risk assessment!

From the article you link:
quote:
Flu cases are not down 98% globally
quote:
AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. Although flu cases are down in the Southern Hemisphere, the Northern Hemisphere has yet to experience its full flu season.
THE FACTS: Posts online are basing their information on data from countries in the Southern Hemisphere like New Zealand and Australia, which have reported low numbers of influenza cases this year. Experts say that extensive measures taken in these countries from mask wearing, lockdowns and social distancing have contributed to low flu numbers this year.
quote:
In its latest influenza update based on flu cases reported from Sept. 29 to Oct. 11, WHO found that global influenza numbers are lower than expected for this time of year.
“Although the southern hemisphere seems to have been largely spared, we are still very concerned about the northern hemisphere influenza season just starting,” Dr. Margaret Harris, a WHO spokeswoman, said in an email.

No matter how many "buts" you type, it makes perfect sense. If people are socially isolating - and many are - that puts a drag on the flu reproductive rate. I expected flu rates to be very low, for this reason, and because more people would get flu shots. For example: at 58 years old, I just got my first flu shot two weeks ago.

Yeah, that's the way it works. Ask any epidemiologist, in any population group, you take the percentage of people not properly wearing masks, and multiply that by the normal flu rate to give your new flu rate.
wt9, take my word for this, you should not vote. The chances of you getting ANYTHING right are very small.

You know the story is shite when it has to preface the story with the bold above.
