I actually expected that, if its true
If you think about it, all the precautions people are taking to avoid covid-19 has to translate into reduced Flu transmissions, along with I would assume everyone lining up to get Flu shots in the hope that it somehow helps offset the symptoms of Covid-19
For 95%? who knows, that might also be because we've had a dry mild fall so far

Maybe the down side to that is what those two California doctors said month’s ago. Basically peoples immune systems will be weakened from not being exposed to stuff on a daily basis. Something to think about.

Flu--- Diagnosis = Covid 19
Runny Nose--- Diagnosis = Covid 19
Diarrhea--- Diagnosis = Covid 19
Bloody nose--- Diagnosis = Covid 19
Ingrown hair--- Diagnosis = Covid 19
And on and on...

I had a sneaking suspicion that would be the case, i.e., that the majority of flu cases have been counted as COVID19 cases in order to inflate the numbers for increased Federal funds.

Entirely believable since individual doctors and hospitals likely wouldn't know the numbers other health facilities around the rest of the country were reporting real time, therefore over reported flu as covid-19 positives, skewing the flu's true total numbers at an unbelievable low.

I would guess it has a lot to do with schools either being closed or socially distanced. I haven't had the flu since my kids were out of elementary school. The places are petri dishes.

It's all about the money for hospitals as I have two family members working in them. I get little , juicy tidbits of information from time to time. Urgent cares and E-rooms are being bombarded with individuals with a little sniffle that would normally shrug it off as a cold and drive on. Now the entire population is being urged to become wimps! As far as MSM is concerned it is all about spreading the panic to the myriad of covidiots out there. It is becoming exhausting!

I’m sure the flu cases are now counted as Covid cases. Also not as many people are flying. It seems like every time I flew in the fall I would come down with something. Those passenger jets are great for developing herd immunity.

This report says that 1300 have died from the flu in the US so far this year. They weren't counted as covid deaths. FLU DEATHS

As far as MSM is concerned it is all about spreading the panic to the myriad of covidiots out there. It is becoming exhausting! Correct. This is a huge money grab for several sectors from the “endless” money tree in Washington (insert sarcasm.) I’m in the first responder world and the money grabbing is ridiculous! Some one have a sniffle? Send him and everyone around him home. Feds will pay their salaries while they’re away and also pay for the OTers coming in to backfill. That’s great for the municipality and their payroll budget. Why would they want to operate any differently? And we can claim that we’re doing it all in the name of “flattening the curve”, “slowing the spread”, or whatever the new catch phrase... Makes me want to puke... same with hospitals. To be clear, these are decisions being made on ADMINISTRATIVE levels - please don’t take it out on the grunts.

That's a Foxnews video on the OP twitter link. I can't find it on Foxnews. Does anyone have a link to it?
