  And it is actually very unsettling, especially if the same happens in northern hemisphere.

  Let's face it, it is improbable that flu will actually be wiped out. There will always be some population somewhere that will keep it alive.

  Now we have huge population that is not renewing immunity to flu virus. This is going to be another complicating factor when lifting restrictions.

  Perhaps influenza cases are being incorrectly counted as Covid-19 cases?
