Dude you are making this shit up..

I already showed you the who data of Flu cases which are still very much a thing and not "stopped"... now your talking about death.

The WHo numbers also continue to show people die from the flu, here is a link of the weekly report including flu deaths and as you can clearly see they are reporting flu deaths every week up to and including this one:

cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

What your saying has no basis in reality.

@pthenq1

@freemo @TruthAndFreedom @pthenq1 This seems quite dishonest.
Look at https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm

Compare the time around the first few weeks for 2021 and the previous years. The numbers are barely existent for 2021, massive for 2020 and very significant for the previous years.

Clearly the prevalence of the flu has gone down drastically during the pandemic.

Btw. I didn't manage to find the FluView data from the last seasons, only these "vague" results. Did you manage to find them? Do they mirror what I found?

Whats dishonest, thats exactly what I said, numbers are reduced, but the flu is not extinct... you literally just repeated what I said and added the word dishonest.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1

@freemo @TruthAndFreedom @pthenq1 I assume people use things like basic rhetoric. When they say "extinct" they don't mean literally extinct, but severely reduced.

Of someone seriously claimed the flu numbers are literally at zero and you responded to that I am sorry for calling you dishonest.

@servant_of_the_anime_avatars

He said, as he just repeated, that flu deaths are "over" and "its a wrap".. in virology we do hit 0 with certain diseases, we eradicated smallpox for example. It is doable.. But with flu we are no where near that, cases have been reduced because everyone is wearing masks and staying in side, but it maintains background levels and will quickly resestablish ones thats over.
