The CDC admits that the flu positivity rate is at a historically low level due to increased mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing.
And yet, we are having a supposed covid spike and are told to increase mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing.
Something doesn't smell right.
So right now maybe 40% of the population is adhering to masks, social distancing and hand washing. So that population has shown how much of an impact on reducing flu just with them doing those measures.
Now imagine a world where 99.9 percent of Americans wore masks, social distanced and washed hands...COVID (which spreads easier than the flu).....could be almost mitigated.
Nothing smells fishy unless you try to spin what you hear to fit something far fetched.
The numbers are manipulated. There was a story on the news about a guy who fell off a ladder and it was counted as a covid death. That's how utterly ridiculous it's getting! There are false positives, lies about cause of death, and the whole sham is to scare the living daylights out of Americans. Unfortunately, those that scare easily are falling for it. The elites do what they want and laugh at us. The fear mongering is pathetic.
An excellent reply -- The best one on this thread!! (They want people vaccinated)
There's a vaccine for the flu right now. I'll go out on a limb and say more folks have been getting it due to Covid.
Flu season is not at its peak yet.
Per the CDC:
Quote:
Following widespread adoption of community mitigation measures to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, the percentage of U.S. respiratory specimens submitted for influenza testing that tested positive decreased from >20% to 2.3% and has remained at historically low interseasonal levels (0.2% versus 1–2%). Data from Southern Hemisphere countries also indicate little influenza activity.
Apparently since everyone is following all mask-wearing mandates, staying home, washing hands and social distancing, flu should be at an all time low.
But since no one is following mask-wearing mandates, staying home, washing hands or social distancing, COVID cases are sky-rocketing.
How's your cognitive dissonance today?
Flu is down because there is some mitigation practices going on instead of none. And has been stated, the flu isn't as contagious a bug as COVID is to begin with.
COVID is "sky rocketing" yes. But it would be multiple times worse if no one was doing anything. So even "sky rocketing" levels of COVID are decreased compared to what they would be otherwise.
