Where’d the Flu go in 2020 America?

Diverge Media recently covered how influenza practically disappeared in Canada at the exact same time the spike from Covid began. Could the same scenario exists for the USA? Do their flu numbers also disappear at week 13 during the “pandemic”.

The data today – What happened to the American influenza data as Covid was introduced to the public? Well, in weeks 11 through 15 (March into spike of Covid that began in April) we see a significant drop in the percentage of positive flu tests in-spite of the increase in testing from previous years.

This is exactly what we reported on in our Article: Where’d the Flu go? — 2020 the year influenza almost disappeared.

CDC influenza comparison reports from 2019-2020

In weeks 11-13, many more influenza tests were conducted than what had been done in the previous year (2019), and still it turned out much lower numbers as a percentage of positives compared to the year prior. After week 13 we see the CDC’s testing for Influenza continually drop week over week – and positive samples become almost non-existent.

We know early on in the “pandemic” that governments around the world were classifying Covid like symptoms as Covid without confirmation (no test). This occurred during the “spike” of the “1st wave”. Is it possible that Covid numbers are inflated from the missing Flu statistics?

This story is continually developing – we will be releasing more stories like this one highlighting the missing Flu numbers of various countries from around the world.
