I think the fact that most people weren’t around others and spent the year mostly at home or at home/work without hanging out in large groups etc. had a lot more to do with it. Then again, that’s just one mans opinion. I find it silly that people don’t think all the actions taken to combat Covid didn’t significantly impact the flu numbers as well, but to each his own.

I was healthy af and lived my life like complete normal. And on a Friday realized I had Covid, didn’t know I had been contagious the entire week, gave it to my family, my kids gave it to children in their daycare, those kids gave it to their parents, and so on. I also gave it to my elderly in laws that had (and still are having) a very rough time with it.
I kinda think this is a little extreme. My brother in laws parents both went through this. Father in law is in health decline, but mil in good health, except heart. Long story made short, they found mil passed out in floor and took to hospital. She later died and the family knew it was her heart. The hospital said it was Covid, however she was never tested. The family still questions and they have joined the skeptics. I can see some the skeptics points.
Sorry to hear. But again, if the elderly are worried about catching it, they should stay home. Sounds like the rest of the bunch now have the antibodies and have helped improve herd immunity
I mean, that’s exactly what we’ve done for an entire year now. Elderly that’s worried about catching it have stayed home. The other group that dgaf and didn’t believe in it didn’t stay at home because it’s “just the flu”. Then they catch it, battle it, and die. And the deaths pile up and our country has nothing else to do but take more prolonged and drastic measures. This in turn effects everything including our economy. Round and round we go and it’s exactly where we’re at today.
It will take the panicky people a couple more months to accept it. They’ll try and scare you with numbers increases before giving up.
Yep. And where do we all think Fauxci and other experts came up with their 'masks aren't necessary' for COVID at the very beginning? It's because they have been studying them regarding the flu, and determined they didn't stop the spread of it.
ignoring the data that strongly leans to showing these measures were largely ineffective?
Fauci is a lying POS who ought to be in prison. The rest of your post doesn't make a lot of sense. Nobody with any reasoning believes or has proposed that masking and social distancing can absolutely stop the flu or any other pandemic. They absolutely reduce the spread. How could they not? Further, even if the measures we have taken this past year could practically eliminate the flu, we couldn't do it. We shouldn't do it. Despite the possibility of saving thousands of lives, it wouldn't be worth it. Just look at the cost of what we have done this past year. It is still a question whether the lockdowns were worth it even for COVID, which is much more deadly than the flu. We may yet find that the long-term consequences of our societal reaction to COVID may have cost as many lives as it possibly saved.
Wrong board but I will try and only state the obvious. We have never tested asymptotic people before fir either cases or the purpose of determining cod. This is new
A lot to unpack here. But your first sentence is correct, and your last one is too.
Don’t know about that. If they have the flu they say it’s covid. Everything right now is covid.
And yet, no matter the thousands of different reactions to how to handle COVID there are on Earth, the flu is gone. Explain how no mask and opened up Florida hasn't seen the flu in over a year? Why hasn't Sweden gotten slammed by it? It literally doesn't make sense.
So, Vitamin D helped eradicate the flu in those places this year, but not in the past?
This seems like a fair take. I’d agree.
No offense intended, but what is it that makes you special so that the gov't would even want to track you? I am certain I'm nothing special ( except to my mom ) and that the gov't doesn't see any need to track me unless it is the IRS.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that the flu disappeared off the face of the earth because of masks and social distancing, amd yet COVID ravaged. I could be absolutely wrong, but there has to be another explanation. Maybe if it were still prevalent in places like India or Africa, we could say that. But it’s gone there too. It’s crazy.
