SCAM ALERT : FLU DEATHS DOWN 66%

   It actually could be true I think. And what it shows is two things: there really is some new virus out there and it’s no different than the flu because it competes with the flu for victims. If covid and flu kill exactly the same kind of people, we would expect to see this “stealing” of deaths by covid from flu.

   From the original article Armstrong quotes:
   “The country’s Office for National Statistics thinks the drop is because medically-vulnerable Brits who would have died this fall from flu and pneumonia instead died this spring from the coronavirus.”
   https://nypost.com/2020/10/24/drop-in-flu-deaths-may-indicate-that-most-at-risk-died-from-covid-19/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=push-notification&utm_campaign=drop-in-flu-deaths-may-indicate-that-most-at-risk-died-from-covid-19

   Surprisingly, that could quite well be the truth. Because Covid and flu are not significantly different viruses as far as the type of person they kill. What it shows is that unlike plague or typhoid or cholera or other diseases that can kill almost anyone, there is a limit to how many people Covid >>can<< kill. Same with flu; they're both acting the same way.

   We can now with almost total certainty expect Covid deaths and flu deaths combined to be the same as flu deaths alone were before Covid appeared. This also explains why Covid is still spreading but isn't killing much: it has already killed most of the people it can kill. Furthermore, trying to stop Covid is pointless if we can't stop the flu because every potential covid death we prevent through isolation will just die from flu a few months later or the next year.

   This is a big point that few doctors even seem to grasp: they don't understand "what kind of thing" Covid is. You have to look at it from a very big picture, the whole population over the span of a lifetime to see it. This is why I think many medical people are supporting the stupid lockdown and masking laws because they can't see the forest for the trees. Covid and flu have a natural death profile: they kill people who are already -naturally- dying. At any one point there's a limit to their number and whatever kills them will compete with each other for "kills". Like a windstorm knocking down dead or diseased trees that have been accumulating for several years. Get another one just a year later and much less damage. Or picking strawberries. If you pick alot today there will be less ripe ones to pick tomorrow.

   Government officials don't realize just how damning this covid vs flu deaths is for their narrative. Otherwise they'd be trying to bury it and say covid and flu are completely different. Covid is just another "flu-like" virus –in every way except it's a mild illness for most people unlike flu which can make you very sick for days.

   Has anybody done fact checking on this claim? I have looked on the CDC site and I am not able to verify this.

     The New York Post article that Armstrong is referring to, quotes a couple sources, most of which are government but not the CDC. In Canada, the government tracks influenza cases (real cases) every week and has done so for decades:

     https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/flu-influenza/influenza-surveillance.html

     Since it’s something routine unlike Covid it probably hasn’t generated any official news statements or announcements.

   From the current FluWatch report, October 11 to October 17, 2020 (week 42):
   “During week 42, seven influenza-like-illness (ILI) outbreaks were reported in schools and/or daycares. To date, 73 ILI outbreaks have been reported in these settings which is higher than typically reported in these settings for this time of year. These elevated levels are not unexpected and are a signal of public health effectively leveraging existing flu surveillance systems to monitor respiratory viral illness in schools.”
   https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/flu-influenza/influenza-surveillance/weekly-influenza-reports.html

   Hey! I thought masks stopped viruses!!!! Of course, Covid is also spreading but since it is so mild, nobody knows they’ve got it or had it.

   From the New York Post article that Armstrong referred to:
   “McConway points out that flu and pneumonia are airborne infections like the coronavirus and the safety guidelines put in place for the pandemic — masks, social distancing and handwashing — would stop them, too.”

   So… logical conclusion… none of it is doing a thing!

   Doctors are good at prescribing policy for patients but they don’t have the perspective or knowledge to prescribe policy for an entire country. Scott Atlas kind of hinted at this when he said, nicely, that Fauci’s area of expertise wasn’t Public Health Policy but Virology.

     Thank You TimH…I like the way you are thinking here

     You have helped us see that there are NO MORE DEATHS net net in 2020 ANYWHERE and that Covid ( it in fact it exists) is what a layman would call the Flu

     Health Authorities would call it another ILI ( Influenza Like Illness)

     Some years its H1N1 that predominates other years its Influenza B

     All of them are variants of the same thing….a Virus that causes pneumonia in weakend populations .

     The mean age of death is 82 or so which is about the average life expectancy …which is WHY it is the average life expectancy.

     If you think about it…why is it that a place like Africa has very very few deaths ?

     Also many 3rd world countries….

     Do some research…I am sure you will find that life expectancy is lower in these places…so there are not as many “vulnerable” people as they die earlier from many other conditions like cholera and aids and diptheria and tuberculosis and malaria etc….and especially malnutrition ( starvation)

     Another point …during the height of the “pandemic” I never heard they were still testing for Flu….just for Covid…and even if no positive test was found if you had pneumonia they just put it down to covid.

     sheesh

       You are right about Africa Fully. I have spent a large part of my life over there. I have a house in Addis Ababa. I can tell you why the death rates are so low and it all has to do with the countries median age. The median age in Ethiopia is approximately 17.9 years of age and 60% of the population in Ethiopia is under the age of 25.

       Shocking isn’t it? Every shop you go into, every taxi driver you see, every policeman you encounter on the road….all look to be about 25 years old! You have never seen anything like it. There are very few old people. Life expectancy is something like 64 years of age.

       Check out the population pyramid. It explains why Africans are immune to Corona. It’s because they are all kids.
