"The global lockdown has caused an unprecedented dip in the number of cases of seasonal flu. The prevalence of other communicable diseases, such as mumps and measles, has also declined. In China, for instance, influenza infections have dropped by 90% since lockdown began.

Similarly, the United Kingdom and Australia have noted significant dips in cases of influenza, and officials in Canada have reported “exceptionally low levels.” South Korea reported an 83% decrease in influenza cases, compared with the same period last year.

"By the way, the facts about COVID-19 vs Flue in the US - the lies Trump, Pense (saying flu kills 100k a year) and his uneducated masses is promoting:
Flu Deaths by season:
2015-2016 23,000
2016-2017 38.000
2017-2018 61,000
2018-2019 34,000
2019-2020 22,000
vs.
COVID-19 deaths year-to-date 2020 210,000 and rapidly rising.

If you think that 210,000 number is accurate, you are a total moron. Of the supposed 6 scamdemic deaths in the county i live in, 4 of them had lengthy horrible illness's and or cancer but was deemed a scamdemic death which is total BS! 80,000-100,000 is more like it, but the LIBS want to keep pumping the number up so they can continue to wear there gay ass masks.

Quite likely the 213,000 dead from C-19 in the USA is an under estimate:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-09-21/200-000-coronavirus-deaths-is-an-undercount

Who says it's "accurate". What is being said by experts is that it is an estimate.

Masks save lives.

I absolutely agree.

It is really disturbing to know that there are still some folks including the POTUS who still lie and/or try to minimize/diminish the severity of this disease, and worse

claim that is is a hoax and in any case consider it is over.

But then again, this is what we have come to expect from Trump and his Basket of Deplorables.

it’s just a flu

Way worse than the flu.

If C-19 were treated as "just a flu" we'd have 10X as many dead as we do.

The 250K already dead in the USA would be 2.5 million dead if C-19 had been treated as "just a flu".

Compare that to a flu year that kills only 40K.

You don't think that the stats rolled flu cases into Covid, thus inflating the Covid numbers, and lowering the Flu numbers?

Flu seasons don't kill a quarter million American with extreme safety measures in place.

Without those measures it would be around 2.5 million Americans dead from C-19 already. Or 10X as many dead.

You didn't answer my question lol. I'm not suggesting Covid isn't real. I am putting out the possibility that flu numbers are down because health officials are categorizing flu cases as Covid cases.

Do you have any evidence for that theory? Does it matter?

It's just common sense that flu deaths are down this year due to extreme safety measures in place due to C-19.

To all the brain dead fucking idiots that keep wanting to compare the flu to covid, shut your fucking mouths and go educate yourselves. My God sports bettors might be some of the dumbest people on the planet. If you think covid isnt scary, then go volunteer at a hopsital ward for covid patients and dont wear a mask. Lets see how you make out, dumb asses.

Fox {entertainment channel ** didnt provide that for him. These dopes dont even realize fox news is registered as an entertainment network, not news outlet, thus the reason for all their bullshit lies that the sheep eat up.

"Does it matter?"

You are the guy posting the subject matter. Clearly it seems to matter to you.
You have become so defensive that there isn't any room for any discussion.
