Notice how all types of non-covid flus suddenly drop to zero in the 14th week of 2020?

This seems to show quite obviously that literally every flu is being attributed to covid, doesn't it? And this is straight from the CDC, straight from the horse's mouth.

I'm surprised they even released this data at all given how messed up this looks. Unless I'm missing something...

I remember hearing something about this in a Jason Bermas video. Apparently recent flu deaths (not cases, which is what you're talking about) have a lag in reporting. Perhaps the same thing applies for diagnoses? Not that I looked into this (or coronavirus in general) much.

You'd think that all medical reporting would be on-point during a pandemic.

I have the impression that pretty much everyone believe the U.S. government messed up the pandemic, regardless of whether they think the virus is an overblown threat. Given that, I'm not sure why'd they think this.

I forgot to add an /s because its obvious that they aren't reporting anything very well these days.
