Social distancing, isolation, shielding and a huge improvement in personal hygiene (washing their hands) will have a huge effect on reducing the amount of infections of various diseases going round.
Covid-19 hasn't displaced it but the measures put in place to contain Covid-19 will have.
I heard recently that Norovirus (Winter Vomiting Bug) is a fraction of the number of cases usually seen (either in hospitals or in the general public). A lot of this will be down to the fact that many people are washing their hands after being outside.

I heard somewhere that there's been an overall reduction in all other infections since covid19 that can't really be explained. Like they've been displaced by it.
That true?
Not a reliable source, so just wondering if it's worth pondering over.
