Nothing new under the sun. The media was hyping the 2018 flu season....they obviously improved their game.

A good year for Batesville Casket here in Indiana.
And likely helping the financials of the Soc Sec system.
Maybe that’s offset by Medicare costs?

Historically, hospitals have considerably more patients during flu season.

Also, read this article. It appears the total of deaths from ALL causes this year (including COVID) is not much different from total deaths from ALL causes in previous years

Here in Macon, Ga, the hospitals and ERs were slap full in Dec 2019 - March 2020. I know because an elderly loved one went to the ER multiple times in this time span and had to wait for a room, sometimes on a gurney in the hallway. She ended up dying from the flu/pneumonia in April 2020 (she had multiple covid tests).

COVID-19 Pt. 2: CDC’s New “PIC” and The Hidden Data:

“Most people aren’t aware that the CDC has lumped influenza together with Covid and pneumonia in death rates with a new name called “PIC.” This comes after the CDC confirmed that only 6% of Covid-related death certificates indicate Covid as the only cause, while 94% list other illnesses as the cause with an average of 2.6 comorbidities.” ~~

The Johns Hopkins Newsletter: A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19:

” ... the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19. This suggests,according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading. Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratorydiseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19.”

I have had horrible back pain the past 3 day. Up at 4:30am barely able to move. My doc...including local clinics would NOT take me because of the scare.

Finally went to an ER the next town over and got a sterod shot.

Unreal.

Other people have needs as well.

I went to the emergency room for flu in January 2018 . Was having trouble breathing.

Never made into the emergency room.

They had setup a triage out in the waiting room where one waits for people to be discharged from hospital room after an operation.

Anyway, the emergency room was full and so was this triage.

Saw the doctor 2 minutes. “Come back if it gets worse” was all he said.

Whoa!!

Did my eyes see the source right? Time Magazine?

OOPS, 2clever got too clever by substituting his headline, for the one from the article. Not that what you said isn’t true, just that Time would never put out such a headline,
