What Happened To Flu?
We regularly hear at this time of year that the NHS is overwhelmed with cases of flu, but this year I've heard no mention of it. The only figures we get are those related to Coronavirus. Has flu disappeared - or are those figures being lumped in with the daily death toll from Covid?

//but that aside if people have tested positive and then die of another cause within 28 days//
And not just that... I asked a question recently about retesting, after my daughter was positive- and it shows people can still test positive for up to 90 days after they had it. So, that is a very big window for a false positive too.

The death figure I take most notice of is excess deaths. This is running fairly close to the reported Covid death numbers, ie more than 70000 above average since March.
But deaths are not the only issue. Many more people are surviving, thanks to better treatments and understanding, but keeping those people alive and nursing them back to health is only adding to the pressure on the NHS.

When my mother went into hospital with a clot in her lung, we asked if they would give her another COVID test as she had tested positive a month before, they said no, as she had recently had it

I can't say I remember the NHS ever being overwhelmed by flu, but some years are worse than others, particularly if the jab that year hasn't worked. They're having a mild flu season in the USA, so probably the same here - which is fortunate.

Ten times worse ? That is bad.

NHS being overwhelmed is not unusual.

// Lockdown proceedings have arguably controlled Covid and at the same time "hampered" the Respiratory viruses.//
that is a very good point Sqad myboy
and is also the official explanation
BUT
they also know, being old, getting flu and then covid will kill you - so there has to be some about
and what will it go down as - covid probably

sevenOP, an order of magnitude is not necessarily 10 times, even to a mathematician. I think given we're talking about a doctor, we can take it as meaning "much".
The NHS is under more pressure than at any point before, despite the 3 lockdowns that we've had.
Tell me though, what's the issue? Are you trying to show that things aren't that bad compared to normal, and therefore we should stop the lockdown? Or what?
