[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1007335, member: 73592"] Well, this simply isn't true yet, as we haven't really started Flu season in the northern hemisphere yet, and numbers were spiking before the weather really turned. But... Flu's likely to be way down this year as A] we have a vaccine for flu, that's being pushed far more than normal this year, and B] the things that work tp prevent Covid ALSO work even better for flu. It's no great surprise that colder / windier / wetter weather keeps people inside more, and it's well known that ventilation is the single biggest factor in reducing spread of anything airborn - so you absolutely would expect weather-that-keeps-peope-indoors increases spread of a cirus-that-spreads-VERY-easily-indoors. It's nothing to do with the temperature, but how humans react to the weather. AKA C] the things that work to spread flu also work even better to spread Covid (except childhood, counter-intuitively) You sign off of "just the new flu" minimises this virus dangerously IT IS NOT THE FLU. Covid is something like 2-3 times as infection (and that's a very conservative estimate - if you believe there are more cases, then it's that much more infectious); approximately 10 times as lethal; with a far, far worse initiator of post-viral fatigue, a postviral fatigue that is far, far more severe, deadly in it's own right, and with a far higher rate of suffering.
