Totally agree. There is no common sense anymore. Take 2019, where there were 56 million cases of the flu recorded in America. No panic or lock downs. Then in early 2020 when Covid came along the number of flu cases recorded in America for that year were? Have a guess!!! Only 877 were recorded. Now what does that tell you? Surely the flu hasn't miraculously some how disappeared!!!! Therefore, it would appear that it's not only Covid but the flu is also being recorded as Covid!!!!. As a result these viruses are now being lumped together as Covid. We are not getting the real case numbers for either Covid or the flu. The flu hasn't simply gone away. It's still out there. So how do we know which virus is causing the significant amount of damage to only a very small number of the population? Remember it is primarily those in the very older age group or those with preexisting respiratory problems being affected. Also the flu is lethal to around 10 in 1000, whereas with Covid it comes in at 6 and in Australia around 3.2 per 1000 population. Ironically the latest outbreak of what ever it was on the Northern Beaches has not killed anyone, nor has anyone been hospitalized as a result. So why all the inconvenience? If the authorities do not stop this nonsense, it'll go on forever because both the flu and Covid, ain't going away any time soon. But it might if the media were to shut up about it. After all, there was no hysteria over the 2019 flu season in America which is believed to have killed around 560,000!!!!
