Since the novel coronavirus began its global spread, influenza cases reported to the World Health Organization from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have dropped to minute levels. The reason, epidemiologists think, is that the public health measures taken to keep the coronavirus from spreading—notably mask wearing and social distancing—also stop the flu. Influenza viruses are transmitted in much the same way as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and they are less effective at jumping from person to person.

I'm thinking it has more to do with the fact that they labeled anything and everything as covid to get that extra funding.
Two points - One) The spread of ALL infections, bacterial or viral, happens when the infected person is allowed to mingle with individuals that do not have the antibodies or robust enough immune system to fight off said infection. SO, staying home, when sick, works and will cut the number of colds, flu, chicken pox and pink-eye. Two) And this is where your point is very valid. When gunshot wounds are counted as SARS-CoV-2 death (looking at you Colorado) it is all about money and power.
ReplyDeletePretty much. Just another round of lies!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of the Kungflu cases are just ordinary flu, but there is big money in treating kungflu.
ReplyDeleteWhen the feds are offering megabucks to hospitals to offset the cost of treating Covid patients who would think that the might cheat, just a little.

If the reporting was honest, South Dakota and Florida would be riddled with flu cases, they are not. Everything became a covid death. You know it as do most of your readers.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't stop the media from trying to feed us BS. And they expect us to swallow.

ReplyDeleteYou Sir, are correct!
I call BS the Federal Government pays MORE TAX DOLLARS PER COVID CASE than it does per Flu case.
ReplyDeleteOK, I see.... The masks were incredibly effective stopping the Flu - just the flu. You bet.
ReplyDeleteIf you want more of something reward it.
ReplyDeleteThey're setting us up to have to wear masks every flu season.
ReplyDeleteOh, you poor naive little peasant. We're setting you up to have to wear masks in perpetuity.

Influenza virus particles have a size of 80–120 nm
ReplyDeletecovid virus has been found to range between 50 nm to 140 nm
Tell me again how covid is spread but flu is totally blocked..
Then pull my other finger.
Spot on Wirecutter. $39k for each vent patient. That's a real highway to hell. A friend of ours got put on one after a surgery cut a little too deep. We were really afraid we would lose her. I'd say it was a real case of "prayer works". Don't let people in white coats put your loved ones on a ventilator.
ReplyDeleteOnly enough I was recently diagnosed with the flu and Covid at the same time. It felt like the flu, I’m not convinced I had Covid.

ReplyDeleteIn the distance I hear Red Skelton saying
NOOOOO!
Bullshit, they traded one sickness for another. Worldwide deaths are right on part with any other year. You'll never be able to go to work sick again. We are in a medical police state, only way to stop it is stop testing for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it.
ReplyDeleteAmen, brother....amazingly, death by stroke and heart failure also went down....imagine that....
ReplyDeleteCovid is BS. The media created this scam to keep us from focusing on the stolen election, Biden Crime Family, Clinton felonies, Pedophile Island and the long list of democrat connections, Obama's treason, Pelosi and Schumer corruption, Chinese control of our MSM....
ReplyDelete"I'm thinking it has more to do with the fact that they labeled anything and everything as covid to get that extra funding." BINGO! Heart attack? COVID! Cancer death? COVID! Auto accident? COVID! Renal failure? COVID! and on and on.
