You are correct it’s real!
My wife is a nurse and my neighbor a doctor. They come home everyday and mention how the hospital is filling up more than in the summer and spring. The good news is we know more about the virus and there is treatment that does work and has great results. People are still dying but there is hope. Hang in there. Prayers for you and your family.

It’s a hard thing to watch when a mother can’t see her baby for over a week but from a distance my brother in-law is a hero to care for a 6 month old day and night like that

And the flu doesn't exist anymore! From my perspective working in a hospital, influenza infections basically went away once all the social distancing/mask/etc. went into place while COVID infections continued showing up at a regular pace. We are testing for both in almost every patient that presents to the ER with symptoms. What I get from that is influenza is less virulent and less contagious than COVID. I'm not particularly worried about COVID for me, but am for my parents. My habits haven't changed much since all this started, but I was already pretty antisocial. I can tell you though from our hospital having two COVID units and plans to open a third, it is real.

Then those babies should be sheltered, just as they should be during a bad flu season.

Is your hospital recording the percentage of those tested that have already had a flu shot (or two) this season? If so, how much do you think that might be affecting your facility's flu rates vs The Corona rates?
