It's amazing masks and social distance can completely wipe out the normal flu. But despite these same measures killing the flu COVID is experiencing rising record numbers. It makes perfect sense!

have you checked the numbers for the Southern Hemisphere? They just went through their winter and flu season. Might be interesting points of conversation.
eta:
In August 2019, there were 61,000 laboratory confirmed cases of influenza in Australia.
In August 2020, there were 107.
I even used a Phage friendly source.

visited with a third person yesterday, just in this small town, where a loved one died (this one was a mother) and the cause of death listed on the death certificate is covid-19. The woman died from an aneurysm. The daughter went to get that removed and the real cause of death listed. But they told her that she must get an autopsy, which is $6,000. They are saying that because six months ago, the mother had tested positive for covid-19. She never got sick from it, however, and again, she died from a blood clot to the brain, NOT covid-19.
Anyone who thinks this lying criminal behavior isn’t going on? You’re a willful stupid person.
Anyone who actually believes the numbers and stats that the media and government entities are reporting? You’re a willful stupid person. And lazy.
Six months into the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, researchers still have much to learn about the many ways in which COVID-19 can wreak devastation on the human body. Among the many mysteries is exactly how SARS-CoV-2, which is the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, triggers the formation of blood clots that can lead to strokes and other life-threatening complications, even in younger people.
“In patients with COVID-19, we continue to see a relentless, self-amplifying cycle of inflammation and clotting in the body,” Kanthi says. “Now we’re learning that autoantibodies could be a culprit in this loop of clotting and inflammation that makes people who were already struggling even sicker.”
Blood clots continue to wreak havoc for patients with severe COVID-19 infection, and a new study explains what may spark them in up to half of patients.
