Welcome Back Flu

After a hiatus of 2 years flu is making a come back.

"Hospital admissions for flu overtake those for covid for first time since pandemic began" Sly News - UK

Just in time for the annual "the nhs is overrun". Maybe we wont get "stay home, save the nhs" this year?

Almost like masks did their job when they were mandatory, and now that nobody wears them anymore we're back to square one with other pathogens.

@Elessar Thats how it went here. I lot of people were locked down mask wearers before the vaccines came out. Very few even ventured out to get Flu vaxxed. And still Flu cases took a holiday and dropped to record lows..😷

@Elessar @whowasthatmaskedman 😂😂😂 explain the "wave" in china
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@gol979 I dont work for the world Health Organisation. So I cant. We are currently getting another "bump" in numbers here. But go into the shopping centres and there is hardly a mask in sight. So I am not surprised.. I am comfortable with the Darwinian imperative taking out the stupid at this point...Some people just dont learn...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman you cant explain china where masks are prevalent but can explain the bump in numbers where you are because people arent wearing masks??

@gol979 Thats correct. Because I dont live in China. I can directly observe whats happening in my country. But even taking your word that there is a wave in China, I would not be totally reliant on the public figures.. I can theorise that people are not continuing to keep up booster shots. I can theorise that social distancing is not being observed or the lock downs are being protested about in crowds as people get sick of the whole thing. But those are theories..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman "theories"?? I thought "the science" was settled? I thought masks stopped the covid? And in china you dont get more mask compliance

@gol979 Your "Obtuse" is showing. The science is settled. The Human behaviour in China is unknown..Your human behaviour can be infered by your attitude. But we cant be sure.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman so masks stop a bug? But china is experiencing an increase in cases 😂😂 yet more contradictions and logical cul-de-sacs
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@gol979 Actually, Yes. When the virus is carried in a droplet expelled from your nose or mouth. Whats more, a mask can stop a bug being breathed out in that droplet, just as easily as it can stop one being inhaled.. I think you are trying to look sillier than you are. If so, you win..If not, I am glad my mask isnt going to be challenged by your unsanitary lifestyle.😷
