What caused it is they were counting all influenza cases as covid-19 cases. If social distancing and mask wearing worked on influenza, nobody would be getting covid either.

Because people were close and being in crowded spaces before everybody went nuts. And covid cases have been pretty level, over time they have increased in total cases but the amount day to day isn't very exciting. Or newsworthy.

Have you reviewed CDC 19-0994 objectively? There is nothing like it for corona but both are considered respiratory viruses.

The CDC didn't exist back then.

So it only works for the flu, but not for the covid? Or why are covid cases supposed to rise while flu deaths have disappeared?

I may be a useful idiot but my reality tunnel says it could have something to do with the death rate 👍

Yeah a lot of people died in the US and that screwed up the numbers.
