Regarding flu, I am not convinced there is a mystery here. One of the things that was resoundingly clear from my re-build of the history of flu research is that there was never an expectation that flu would circulate every year before the PCR era. So either flu changed after the 80s, to become truly annual as opposed to sporadic-annual, or flu remained sporadic-annual and PCR introduces extra detection compared to using observations of illness, ferret/egg isolation, and seropositivity to measure flu. The very first influenza A outbreaks recorded with those three measurements were 1935/36, 37, 39, 41, 43/44, 46/47 (https://unglossed.substack.com/i/64504855/home-run).
Flu remains sporadic after H1N1 reemerges from a lab and co-circulates with H3N2 in 1977.
So, the mystery of why PCR stopped flagging flu cases in 2020-21 is not interesting unless it can be shown by some other statistic that flu actually changed to be yearly. I haven't followed-up to see if such other statistics exist.
I live in northern VA. Had coffee with a friend this morning who is a pediatric hospitalist at a large hospital. She said they are slammed with RSV and flu admissions in under-5s, and a number of them also, incidentally test positive for covid. What would the past 2 years have been like if we had all acknowledged this?
Yep low immune exercise (exposure) and immunosupression by stress (poor diet, emf, food toxicity and vacsines toxicity). .
Appreciate the highlight.
