At least in winter there's the logic of making sure the hospitals don't get overwhelmed by flu patients on top of the covid patients. And even if there is a winter lock down, we have not seen violent or heavy handed policing like in Australia and New Zealand, arrests and religious persecution like in Canada, or mass layoffs or absurd, hysterical politicization like in the US.
Nah, that argument is out the window now. After all, in the US last year there were only 1,675 flu cases recorded in the 2020-2021 flu season. So, the flu is demonstrably not a threat anymore.
It actually amazes me that they're so dishonest they're ACTUALLY trying to cover up that people are just misdiagnosing the flu. I genuinely thought it was obvious enough that it was an easy mistake, so I expected them to be like "shit happens, so sometimes people think the flu is actually covid", but no, they just straight up expect us to buy it, and they deny it???
No, no, you see, social distancing, masks, etc. were effective at stopping the regular flu virus but we didn't do them hard enough to stop the kung flu virus! We totally didn't just classify virtually every respiratory illness as covid for the last year and a half to artificially inflate the numbers and drive people into a panic in order to seize more governmental control.
The doublespeak just makes my head hurt, but too many people are sadly dumb enough to buy it.
Give it a month and that'll change, they are already preparing the narrative for their winter lockdown.

Ah yes. Amazing how Covid magically all but wiped out influenza.
