I haven’t been sick in a full year since the pandemic started, as far as I know this is a first.
Flu Levels Plummeted 95%, Figures Suggest: Lowest In 130 Years

Influenza and COVID are the same family of virus...im sure the majority of flu got absorbed into probably "negative" tested covid symptoms or whatever. doesnt make sense that its eradicated even with the covid shyt in play...it still exists out there.

Yes why are people still acting like it's the 1800s debating germ theory?

What family is that? The contagious respiratory family?
Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2), and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses.

Why is it false? Because there aren’t enough tests ?I knew bullshyt studies like this was gonna happen. I haven’t even administered tamiflu yet. Any study about the flu this flu season is inaccurate and not a true representation of previous flu seasons. I imagine you’re gonna hear multiple healthcare professionals speak out about this.
the same thing happened in asia with SARS.. they started wearing masks in china, taiwan, japan, korea and etc whenever an individual had flu like symptoms.

It’s a false representation. If a lvl 1 teaching hospital like the one I work at is not swabbing patients with flu like symptoms like previous flu seasons. Then obviously you can’t compare previous flu seasons to this flu season. Again, maybe other hospitals have different practices.....but I highly doubt it.
What’s funny is, I just did my first flu swab on a adult this year last night

Nearly 10% of the country had had at least 1 dose of the vaccine
Nearly another 10% has already tested positive for COVID (with up to 5-10x that many being non-tested asymptomatic carriers)
So you're looking at between 50-100% of the country either being vaccinated or had the virus already.
But somehow people are dying from COVID at record numbers and all of a sudden nobody is catching the flu, which allegedly kills between 40-60,000 people annually
Man if y'all dont get this COVID shyt up outta here and open this country back up
Now you gotta take a COVID test to re-enter the US from vacation
They gonna have people taking covid tests in 3rd world countries and waiting for results
