"Its all there in black and white on the official government website. They dont even hide it, but they dont advertise it either. Last time i looked a couple of weeks ago they stated only 375 flu deaths in the past 10 months compared to the usual number of 30,000. The numbers are there its just for people to work it out for themselves." Given Corona has become the ' new flu' it's likely to take its place in the future.. And we will be having annual covid not annual flu jabs too I shouldn't wonder That would make sense.. | |||

So does this mean flu isn't killing people like it used to because covid is getting to them sooner? " Yes I was just going to say the on average 30000 a year don't die a flu. There are many reasons why there aren't as many cases of flu. The 1st being the uptake of the flu vaccine in 2020 hit record highs, The 2nd being the people that are most likely to be hospitalised with flu are the people that are shielding or being very very careful because they are the same people that are vulnerable to covid. The 3rd reason being we are not mixing as much. So it makes perfect sense to me that there aren’t as many cases. | |||

" my original point was that I keep hearing that practically all respiratory illness deaths are being listed as covid for cause, even some cancer deaths! and that's a widely touted statement. Id completely agree lorna that there's got to be some likely causes such as the ones you list as to why thats happened | |||

People with flu have symptoms and usually struggle to get out of bed. Therefore we don't have spread in the community in the same way as with covid. It really isn't difficult to understand why there is hardly any flu but we still need such tight restrictions for covid. | |||

"Upto October there was 13,100 flu deaths In 2020. The last quarter of the year isn’t showing yet. However the ONS reported just under 1000 in the first 3 weeks of jan this year Since 2000 the average is around 17,000" Don't be quoting sourced facts! | |||
