CDC experts believe that efforts like social distancing, mask-wearing and school closures might have critically crippled flu season in countries in the Southern Hemisphere.

The run-up to flu season in the US has been fraught with fear. Health experts worry that fighting Covid-19 and influenza simultaneously could burden the health care system's ability to treat both infections.

Flu season in the Southern Hemisphere, though, came and went with so few cases that there was"virtually no influenza circulation," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yes, you can have Covid-19 and the flu at the same time.

History shows us when we have a weak flu season, something worse always follows. Masking is a bad idea all the way around.

SethAbramson Shitty headline writing .... wrong connotation for 'crippled' that is, itself, a terrible word choice in just about any circumstance ... do better

Maybe they assumed all flu cases were covid? Idk but it seems to me that while the virus itself is not a hoax, the way “experts” are treating is...

SethAbramson 1 WHO CDCgov NIH UNICEF MSF_USA MSF UN nycsouthpaw Agree. And until there are some effectively proven and freely accessible Vaccines against Covid19, the people won't be living in 'the normal' world.

SethAbramson I was wondering when stories like this would start to appear. All of these pandemic precautions have to have an effect on communicable diseases other than COVID19.

We don’t care what the CDC has to say about anything anymore.

Who knew we would be volunteered to be the control group? The “no treatment” group? I don’t feel “great” rn.

Of mask work don’t act like a clown when I walk by without one! You have a mask on your protected.

I used to work at a restaurant before Covid and I was sick every 3-5 months (flu/cold) and now? I haven't been sick since. People go to restaurants/bars even when they're feeling ill or having symptoms and it's ridiculous.

The red mite dinglewrapped the muskrat. is such a twisted cornucopia of lies and deceit. Who can keep up with the propaganda we are supposed to eat?

DEMS. KEEP THE FOCUS OF THE CAMPAIGN ON HEALTH CARE INS. & COVID-19!! CHINESE ARE CONTINUALLY RE-INFECTING OUR COUNTRY, OVER & OVER WITH MUTATIONS OF THE C-19 VIRUS! THE RUSSIANS ARE RE-INFECTING OUR BRAINS OVER & OVER! WE'VE LOST OUR WAY! QUESTION IS, IS IT FOR GOOD? VOTE BLUE!

So, mega flu season in the USA then.

No, it hasn’t. Viruses are not scared away by masks and distancing. Without bacteria & pathogens, human beings would’ve gone extinct thousands of years ago.

That is a logical result of course. Other bacterial infections are also less bc of washing our hands more and better.
