LOL. Doctors don't need to maliciously or even mistakenly conflate patients. They receive extra government funding for all covid patients. They've been incentivized to treat flu patients as covid patients.

Further, perhaps you should take a look at what the Sars2 virus looks like under a microscope, and what the flu virus looks like under a microscope. They're so incredibly similar they're damn near indistinguishable. There's a reason why the PCR tests throw positives for non-covid coronaviruses and flu viruses both. :)


LOL. PCR tests throw positives because they look the same. God damn at least learn how the tests work before you say dumb shit.

Fact is if you come in with flu or covid like symptoms you will still be tested for the flu. We never stopped testing and hospitalizations due to the flu are basically non-existant.

PCR tests aren't capable of consistently distinguishing flu infections from COVID infections.

Except they didn't stop doing flu tests on hospitalized patients


The medical professionals might have just mixed up the data by accident.

But what is more likely is that they lied or modified the PCR test.

The states in the USA are paid money by the federal government based on their number of new COVID cases.

Time for the desperate strawman? Nobody ever made that statement. This topic is asking what happened to the flu. Simple answer: It's still here. Convoluted science denier answer? "Masks and social distancing cured it!" Wut? Just LOL.


"It's still there", the little voices are telling you ?

There's still deaths from flu, but much less because of social distancing, masks... And people really taking care of it if they feel wrong/sick.
In real numer: in-between 5 to10 times less cases of FLU, but also gastro enterities ... Here in France. Winter 2020-2021

So forget FLU and start to work on yourself, GL :lol:

None of that is "more likely". The insanely obvious explanation is that the social distancing that only slowed covid down was enough to virtually eliminate a less infectious disease.

I would say the distancing and masks accounted for 60% of the drop in flu cases.

A 60% drop results in zero spread of the flu.

My god you guys are dumb. Viral spread is not a linear process.

I said you need to get tested prior to get the vax if you have already had it.. which is absolutely true.. They wait until your antibody level is low enough so you don't get really sick from VAX.
Yes you can go get a test from wallgreens etc. but that's not how this is working in real life..
What actually happens outside Bob's basement.
1. Person feels ill, tells his employer he doesn't feel well " person must get a negative test to come back to work" there is step 1. 1- test
2. If person tests postive, each company is doing contract tracing. so there is 1-xxxx amount of people that had +15 minutes of exposure accumulative for over 24 hours. there is typically 4-5 people that need tests.. I have seen 20+ from one person. Typically 5-20 test from ONE COVID positive person in the workplace. (running total 5-21 avg.)
3. If said person was not around anyone he needs a negative test to return to work. (-21)
4. If one of the contract tracings test positive they also must get a negative test to return to work**regardless of symptoms.
5. The contract tracing begins with person #2. Expand again 5-20 people in the work place.
So you claim that everyone just walks into the Dr. to get treated for the flu and/or COVID without knowing is COMPLETE basement BS.
1 Symptomatic person typically results in over 30+ tests.
get off the sauce and the internet.. Get outside so you can stop claiming ridiculous BS


Dude, how does anyone know of "you've had it" if you haven't been tested? Do a simple "do I need a covid test before getting the vaccine?" search on google. The answer is NO.

What REALLY happens with the majority of vaccines outside theCrossbone's fantasy world: Average person goes into their nearest vaccine site (usually CVS/Walgreens around here). There's a short wait. They give you a shot. They schedule the second shot. You leave. All the extra steps you list is just fantasy.

Further, you don't need to get tested to go into a store, you don't need to get tested to go to work, you don't need to get tested for nearly any reason unless you're in a hospital. And hospitals mandate PCR tests for literally all patients. Why? Well, if a person's coming in for a foot infection, but hits positive with the PCR test, the hospital gets extra funding. Forget that they had no symptoms and aren't there for anything covid related.

Your posts where you're making up a fantasy world where "things are happening" that aren't, in fact happening, is just stupid, especially while you're trying to make the claim that "masks and social distancing cured the flu". :rolleyes:

LOL @ less infectious. Science denial at it's finest.

Covid wild spread was at least 2 before delta, now its even higher. The flu is a 2 on its best years.

Truly astounding how proud you are of being dumb.

Other sicknesses don't exist anymore. Covid is the only cause of any death out there as we speak. Covid is causing every car crash, murder, rape, old age, overdose, etc. You name the cause of death, it was in fact Covid.

If they don't get the covid death, they don't get the maximum funding. It's that simple.
