Was It All For Naught?

Lol.

I just showed you that facts are that flu cases dropped precipitously from week 11 to week 12 and 13....when the U.S. started implementing COVID precautions.

What kind of facts are you looking for people to present to disprove your otherwise baseless claim that COVID precautions didn’t lower flu cases?

Oh, anyone from those pushing the Covid 'precautions' touting how much of a good effect it was having on the 'regular' flu would have been helpful before I just brought it up. Not a word from the MSM, government, medical elite, etc., tells me it made no difference. If it did, it would have been touted loud, clear, and repeatedly.

Well color me right when I said...Long ago, this was no more then the regular flu.

That ...panic was being fueled by the media...who we know Always tells the truth, right and pure.

Maybe such precautions would have a positive effect next season?
The argument SMS was making was that flu season was over in February as it usually is. He documented it and tRidiot agreed with him.
The precautions didn’t come along till March. Flu season was over.

... given some of your other posts, it sort of surprises me that you’re proposing that the measures had an additional advantage that the MSM isn’t talking about.

I remember that. My mom lived off of Whispering Oaks just west of Veterans Memorial park. Her house was hit but not destroyed. About an hour later the police had everything blocked off and telling people to get out of there even though OG&E had already shutoff the gas feed for teh neighborhood. My mom finally got enough stuff together that wasn't full of glass and went to a friends house. The next day they wouldn't let her in. It wasn't until 3 days later that they let people in and my mom lost even more stuff because of the rain the next day.

I feel that if the police are not obligated to protect us (as per SCOTUS ruling) then they should not be able to deny us access to our own property "for our safety". If they want to block off city owned property/streets, fine. But I want to access whats left of my house to secure my belongs they should have no authority to stop me if I can prove I live there.

My daughter's friend lived straight south of there just north of 19th street. I think it was the 1st street north of 19th off Bryant, IIRC.

You are reading me wrong. I said if the additional measures had a positive effect we'd have heard about it. Per the CDC, the flu season didn't end in February. It stayed significant through April. That's a significant overlap of the Covid and the 'regular' flu. I heard of no positive effect of the Covid measures having the side effect of lessening the cases of the 'regular' flu.

It trailed off, though. Here's a thought, and it would undermine my own argument, if I had one.
There are always going to be residual cases of the flu.
tRidiot says the flu season was "pretty much over when this thing hit" and we know it usually ends in March. Why more cases?
I'll make an undocumented assumption that it's all this testing!
Freaked-out people with ordinary flu running to the Dr. suspecting they've got covid when they would have just ridden out the ordinary flu. They get a quick and readily available test for flu and that's what they've got.
We're discovering more flu because fear, and all this testing! LOL

Put the bottle down Iggy, this makes too much sense.

It may be too late to show accurately in an antibody test.

Huh???
