Imagine My Shock – CDC Announces They Will Be Rolling Back Collection Of Flu Data During The 2020-2021 Season By Phillip Schneider for Natural Blaze
GNN Note – Since everything from suicide to motorcycle accidents to heart attacks are being attributed to Wuhan-Bat-Flu stew why count seasonal flu – it’s all “covid”. Nobody is dying from anything other than “covid”. hmmm… /END
Buried in a CDC web page about yearly flu data collection is a message that may come as a surprise. It reads,
“Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this system will suspend data collection for the 2020-21 influenza season.”
The announcement was first added in October, the month typical of a year’s initial uptick in flu cases, peaking between the months of December and February. More specifically, the system they are referring to is called Summary of the Geographical Spread of Influenza which compiles data regarding the geographic locations of flu cases.

Many have taken this to mean that no data will be collected during the 2020-2021 season, but basic data collection has not stopped and is being published weekly on the CDC’s website.
Flu cases are expected to be lower this year because of the coronavirus, spurring some to believe that COVID numbers are being inflated.
“Couldn’t make the numbers stack up, now they are counting every influenza death as covid-19,” claims Investment Watch Blog. “Truth is they probably have been for a year.”
It is unclear how many flu cases have been counted among coronavirus numbers, but we do know that in 2020, cases of the flu had an inverse relationship with those of the coronavirus. In other words, as flu numbers went down, coronavirus numbers went up.
“I think we’re probably seeing some impact as far as social distancing, but also this is the time of year where we see it tail off anyway,” said Lexington Emergency Physician Dr. Ryan Stanton last April. “Hand hygiene and the social distancing. All of that will impact other viruses on top of just the coronavirus.”
