Care to explain why Flu cases dropped to almost nothing in the 2020-2021 flu season? And why they were only about 30% of normal in 2021-2022?
"According to the CDC, the estimated number of annual flu cases in the U.S. each year since 2016 is as follows:
29 million cases in 2016-2017
41 million cases in 2017-2018
29 million cases in 2018-2019
36 million cases in 2019-2020
9 million cases in 2021-2022
Estimates aren’t available for the 2020-2021 flu season due to minimal influenza activity."

With Covid, from Covid, whatever... Over 1 million more died than would have been expected without the pandemic. Now, maybe there were a lot more slip and fall accidents or maybe there were a lot more deaths from liver disease or maybe there were a lot of deaths from bad ground beef but that is doubtful. SOMETHING led to over 1 million additional deaths and whether "with" or "from," the deaths were Covid-related.
This CDC Flu site has numbers for deaths by flu. Flu deaths were down significantly in calendar year 2021 but still not zero. Not sure what the dates are for a flu season but since there are no weeks with zero deaths, the 2020-2021 season had flu deaths as well.
