    Well, it’s either because people are wearing masks and masks work.

    Or

    It’s a worldwide conspiracy, faking Covid when it’s just the flu, to destroy freedom by having people wear a piece of cloth on their face sometimes.

    Kobe, wear your mask in the winter. Why doesn’t the government come out and eradicate the flu by closing schools in the winter and mandate masks from November to March.

    Did you your mask the last 10 years?

    Like bad weather, insane liberals like Kobe believe the common cold and the flu and now even death can be eradicated. You fucking morons don't understand you can't actually change the weather or stop death. Being forced to wear a mask and drink through paper straws is about money and government control but keep telling yourself the sky is green.

    Only idiots believe masks are going to keep them from getting sick.

    As for the flu, the data is being wholly skewed to Covid. It helps rats and their elitist leaders in the game of politics. People get paid, political favorites are making money and the liberal elites are happy about that.

    Follow the money and you will figure out why all of the sudden the flu is dead.

    Speaking of morons, imagine claiming that high black out of wedlock birth rates are caused by white racism.

    If it was masks the magatards would have still got the flu because they didn't wear marks

    Your theory is now peer reviewed and rejected

    It seems to me that the NPIs for COVID worked far better for the flu. Masks, locking people in their homes, breaking the bonds of society, etc. Flu just doesn't have the will to win that the Vid does.

    I read listened a book about a year ago about endemic influenza. If I remember correctly, there's very little diagnostic testing for flu. It's almost entirely diagnosed by symptoms. Also, the hometowns of Super Bowel participants have an uptick of flu following the game. Also, tamiflu is mostly worthless. Anyhow, if no one is going to a doctor, could be a detection bias.

    I’ve been saying for months that the absence of the flu is interesting and if we were replacing flu and COVID with other terms it’d be a logical conclusion to look at the effects of substitution

    As we eventually return to normal, will be interesting to see if the flu continues to be largely eradicated

    Or perhaps you’re just a blathering idiot spouting horseshit from the comfort of Mom’s basement and don’t really know much about well, anything?

    If masks worked and people were wearing them, then you’d have neither the flu or Covid cases.

    Scientifically, industrially, in state by state comparison (mask, no mask, open state, closed state), it is proven that masks don't work especially the shit I see virtually everyone wearing for a mask. Those things don't work at all. Knowing all that we all have to get treated to that fucking idiot biden on a virtual world stage being the only world leader wearing a mask. FFS rats, you elected a pussy as your President.

    I’d tell you to jump off the Aurora bridge, but I think that’s still against the rules.

    Is the Tallahatchie Bridge still in play?

    And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas
    Well, the Slobberer never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
    There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow
    And mama said it was shame about the Slobberer, anyhow
    Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
    And now the Slobberer's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    I predict that the 2021 (flu) season is going to be special
    Yeah like instead of masks we're going to move to air tight helmets?

    Kobe doing the thing he always does which is ignore the direct responses to his asinine post and instead focus on nuance that has no bearing whatsoever on the actual conversation he started.
    I usually just ignore the dumbest responses.

    The government doesn't pay 19-39k per patient for treatment of the flu. HTH
