The massive drop in reported flu cases so far this season is suspicious. I can think of a few reasons for it.
– People with the flu are being misdiagnosed with the China virus.
– People with the flu also have China virus but are diagnosed only having the latter.
– China virus is more contagious than the flu, and it’s outcompeting the flu for vulnerable hosts.
– Masks and lockdowns are more effectively preventing flu transmission than China virus transmission.
This is not an exhaustive list of possibilities, so feel free to add to it.
