February is usually the peak of flu season, with doctors’ offices and hospitals packed with suffering patients. But not this year.
Flu has virtually disappeared from the U.S., with reports coming in at far lower levels than anything seen in decades.
Experts say that measures put in place to fend off the coronavirus — mask wearing, social distancing and virtual schooling — were a big factor in preventing a “twindemic” of flu and COVID-19. A push to get more people vaccinated against flu probably helped, too, as did fewer people traveling, they say.
Another possible explanation: The coronavirus has essentially muscled aside flu and other bugs that are more common in the fall and winter. Scientists don’t fully understand the mechanism behind that, but it would be consistent with patterns seen when certain flu strains predominate over others, said Dr. Arnold Monto, a flu expert at the University of Michigan.
This is more BS from whoever covid 19 is and was the flue . Propaganda from the world order has everyone screwed up.
Example of why mask are not going anywhere.
We don’t need scientist or flu experts that don’t fully understand, lol. Take it from a uneducated minion that with the population keeping their nasty hands clean and other measures due to fear of COVID-19, has helped quell the bug.
Everything is COVID-19 so why should all other viruses be reduced in cases. Proves all the COVID cases are not COVID just because there are symptoms related to other viruses. Just shows the Political BS scaring the population.
Fire all the FAUCI’S and other Democrat operatives that are making millions on their fake reporting including Hospital leadership.
