Covid and Flu

I thought I would share some discussions that we have been having internally regarding Covid and flu. With so much media focus on Covid, it has slipped under the radar how flu has almost completely disappeared in the 2020/21 season.
Reported cases for the US are usually around the 5 million mark but for this season to date the total is 1,387. And no, that number isn’t missing zeros on the end. Flu numbers have completely collapsed.

There is now concern that the 2021/22 flu season could be especially bad due to lower resistance from an absence of exposure this year and difficulty in projecting dominant strains for vaccines. So the question we have started asking ourselves is this – We have been thinking that, in time, we will think of Covid like flu – but what if we should be thinking that flu will be like Covid?
