[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]look what happened in the southern hemisphere, where winter just ended:

"Health systems across the southern hemisphere were bracing a few months ago for their annual surge in influenza cases, which alongside Covid-19 could have overwhelmed hospitals. They never came.

Many countries in the southern half of the globe have instead experienced either record low levels of flu or none at all, public health specialists in Australia, New Zealand and South America have said, sparing potentially tens of thousands of lives and offering a glimmer of hope as winter approaches in the northern hemisphere.

General practitioners in New Zealand have not detected a single influenza case since they started screening patients in June, health data shows; last year about 57% of the samples they collected were positive."

Yep, the "flu season" is more alarmist hype given how people have masked up. It'll fall right in line with the promised "surge" that somehow never comes.[/quote]

That Memorial Day surge is due any moment. [/quote]

Um ... there was a surge over the summer, I guess you forgot?  We have prevented surges due to enough people taking social distancing and masking seriously.  [/quote]
