Well looks like the CDC is not going to track flu cars for 2020-2021 like they have done for a decade.
You have to scroll down to the bottom of section 3 but it says clear as day that:

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this system will suspend data collection for the 2020-21 influenza season. Data from previous seasons are available on FluView Interactive.
Hmmmmmm wonder why they are doing that???

No. It's because most flu cases during previous years are not from cases where there was a positive lab test for influenza. Instead, it's based on reported symptoms. That's why it's called ILI - Influenza-Like Illness. That's also why yearly flu deaths are actually called P&I deaths. P&I stands for Pneumonia and Influenza. Now that COVID's here, that complicates things.
In fact, scroll down farther on that page:

Essentially they can’t back-estimate influenza cases from pneumonia deaths using the same algorithm because COVID also causes pneumonia.Quote:
In previous seasons, the NCHS surveillance data were used to calculate the percent of all deaths occurring each week that had pneumonia and/or influenza (P&I) listed as a cause of death. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 coded deaths were added to P&I to create the PIC (pneumonia, influenza, and/or COVID-19) classification. PIC includes all deaths with pneumonia, influenza, and/or COVID-19 listed on the death certificate. Because many influenza deaths and many COVID-19 deaths have pneumonia included on the death certificate, P&I no longer measures the impact of influenza in the same way that is has in the past. This is because the proportion of pneumonia deaths associated with influenza is now influenced by COVID-19-related pneumonia. The PIC percentage and the number of influenza and number of COVID-19 deaths will be presented in order to help better understand the impact of these viruses on mortality and the relative contribution of each virus to PIC mortality.
All pure politics.
Exactly!

Jack Nicklaus questions COVID death toll, took hydroxychloroquine to combat his own virus symptoms.
Nicklaus said he and his wife battled the coronavirus in March.

Who cares what Jack Nicklaus says?
"All the stars are aligned in the wrong place" as the country heads indoors in colder weather, Fauci told the newspaper in an interview late Friday -- a day when the US set a global record for the most daily cases and the nation surpassed 229,000 deaths. "You could not possibly be positioned more poorly."
Nicklaus is as credible as Fauci at this point. Fauci has been everywhere on his recommendations and opinions.Quote:

Well at least the people are wearing masks. That is the big difference. CNN called them out for their lack of social distancing.Quote:

Vaccines are 90% effective...thanks to President Trump. Marking this for posterity.
