Nothing I have said is bullshit. I have posted reasoned arguments. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean it's bullshit.I want you to know you are the problem. It takes a lot less time for you to vomit out bullshit than for me to correct it. I gave you the opportunity to back up your idiotic statements - obviously you couldn't, because they are untrue.
It's almost as if I pointed that out myself in the post you quoted when I realised the graph posted earlier referred to a very small sample of all reports. The precautions are irrelevant - when the sentinel cases are compared over the last 4 years exactly the same pattern is seen.This is bullshit and a lie. There are cases of influenza, just not many - because people are taking precautions that reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. Amazing, right?
I know, see above point.It is also not because patients aren't being tested. Here are the influenza tests being done: 2813 in the past week. There's just not a lot of influenza going around.
Shall we look at what I posted that you are complaining about?Before you start bleating that doctors aren't looking for it, this is MORE testing than previous years. A lot more (1849 tests the same week last year):
"My suggestion is simple, flu is still out there and still killing people. The difference compared to normal is those people who have flu are likely to also have COVID given they tend to kill the same demographic. If someone has a positive COVID test why would you bother testing them for flu as well?"
It was a suggestion, not a statement of fact. That it was wrong is now evident but I never said that was the case, just a suggestion.
What is your point here?You can see the COVID deaths! What's wrong with you? The deaths from influenza/pneumonia are being tracked separately from COVID. There are a LOT of COVID deaths.
Yeah, you're right. Reasoned debate and explanation should be replaced with hysterical name callingIn short you are an idiot and should be banned from the internet.
