• Not only are those two different timescales, but they are two different things. Symptoms ≠ confirmed cases, yet you are using the existence of one to suggest we should show distrust in the other.

    There was figure given in december by PHE. But using RCGP scale, that has been tracked for a least 5 years, show there has been a significant reduction in flu/flu like symptoms is a better source of data to compare to previous years.

    But what seems to be missing in this 'chat' and it is not wake up sheeple it is why has the sharp reduction in flu happened. Is it the mask, hand gel and hand washing or the social distancing that caused the drop. What happened to get the uptake of the Flu vaccine up, was it a covid thing, or one that can be repeated.

  • Is it the mask, hand gel and hand washing or the social distancing that caused the drop

    Got to be social distancing and the closure of offices, nightclubs, bars, anywhere there's close contact. Masks / hand washing / disinfectant will have helped also.

    What happened to get the uptake of the Flu vaccine up, was it a covid thing, or one that can be repeated.

    Not sure of the full story but my 94 year old gran had to get the flu jab before she could get the first round of vaccine.
