Introduction – Jan 20, 2021
Covid-19 shares many symptoms similar to those of seasonal cold and flu. The BBC even posted an article to help readers to distinguish between colds and flu and coronavirus.
So although the following article doesn’t say as much, it is entirely possible that the big drop in seasonal colds and flu is due to them being misdiagnosed as Covid-19. So could it be that Covid-19 is merely a varient of seasonal cold and flu that we see every so often: like Hong Kong Flu or H1N1?
If that is indeed the case — and they do indeed exhibit many of the the same symptoms — why have governments around the world reacted as one, with such extreme measures like mandatory lockdowns? After all this has never happened before. So why now?
Or is Covid-19 simply being used as a pretext to wheel in an authoritarian, global government? Ed.
GPs in England see big drop in common cold and flu cases
Linda Geddes – The Guardian Jan 10, 2021
GPs in England have reported a big drop in cases of influenza, colds and other common infections – with cold rates now about a quarter of the five-year average, and flu at about a 20th of the usual level for this time of year.
Social restrictions brought in to curb transmission of coronavirus combined with an increased uptake of flu vaccine is the most likely explanation, experts say.
Surveillance data gathered during the southern hemisphere’s flu season had suggested the UK might expect to see a drop in the incidence of flu this winter. However, the scale of the drop in England is surprising given that children attended school and limited social mixing was permitted until the introduction of a full lockdown on 4 January.
The data is derived from patient reports of illness at up to 500 GP practices across England gathered by the Royal College of GPs’ (RCGP) research and surveillance centre. “We record whatever symptoms people consult with and these are sent on to the research and surveillance centre,” said Azeem Majeed, a professor of primary care and public health at Imperial College London and a GP.
During December, rates of common cold symptoms reported to GPs were 0.3-1.2 per 100,000 persons, while for influenza-like illness this was 0.5-1.3 per 100,000 persons – well below the five-year average for this time of year. The incidence of other common infections including intestinal disease, strep sore throat and inner ear infections (often linked to respiratory illness) is also well below the five-year average, and may similarly reflect increased hand hygiene and decreased social mixing.
Equivalent data for Wales and Scotland was not immediately accessible, but is likely to show a similar pattern given that similar restrictions on movement and social mixing have been imposed there.
“I think this is real and reflects two things: overwhelmingly the main thing is that social distancing and lockdown measures dramatically reduce the transmission of cold, influenza and other respiratory viruses,” said Paul Little, a professor of primary care research at the University of Southampton. “There may be a smaller secondary effect in that people may be contacting their GP less with ‘normal’ cold and coughs – but that cannot possibly explain the huge differences observed. Similar trends were seen in Australia with their flu season – which basically did not happen there either.”
There has also been a reduction in hospital admissions for flu, Majeed added.
Another factor that may have contributed is increased uptake of the flu vaccine. “There has been an excellent take-up this year, with a record 77% of over-65s coming forward for their jab, which will be offering them protection from the flu,” said Prof Martin Marshall, chair of the RCGP. “This is something general practice teams should be hugely proud of given the additional pressures under which they are delivering the expanded flu vaccination programme this year.
“Flu can be a nasty illness and as we start to come in contact with people again – even following social distancing measures – it’s important that people maintain good hygiene. We’d also urge anyone who is eligible for the flu vaccine – now including 50-to 64-year-olds – to come forward for their jab. This is the best protection we have against flu and vaccines only work if people have them.”
Here we go again! Same old lies intended to conceal the fact that THERE IS NO NEW KILLER PLAGUE.
The whole thing is, and always was, a SCAM, and if we don’t depose the liars SOON, we can forget about freedom of speech, action and even thought. The lunatics in control already think of us as livestock, and that’s what we’ll become if we allow the scam to continue for much longer.
Isnt it more likely that fewer people are going to the gp given the pandemic
I should have had flu by now. I haven’t. Since the lockdown, I’ve had no colds either.
Why?
Because flus and colds are natural detoxifications of the body, created to remove toxicity from cells. You CANNOT catch a cold or flu (or any other virus for that matter!) because they are made within the body, cell specific and DO NOT migrate. Therefore by not migrating around the body it also means they do not LEAVE the body and infect other people!!!
How many remedies are out there for colds and flus?
How much money do you think GlaxoSmithKline, amongst many big pharmaceutical companies make, every year, on the selling of their products?
And it’s PRECISELY why the health service lies to you, about what viruses are, because if people really knew what colds and the flu really were they would realise that they DON’T need to buy any remedies from the chemist. And just how many billions, would big pharma lose out on?
As stated, I’ve had no colds nor flus. I’ve always had a good constitution, but being locked down there’s been no going out with friends to bars and nightclubs. No having the odd cigarette now and again. No takeaways (not that I had many) and just watching what’s going into my body. I’ve had minimal toxicity, therefore nothing has needed to have been removed from my body. And I should imagine many other people, all over the west, haven’t been suffering from cold and flus either, not because it’s now the corona virus, but because they will have low, cell toxicity levels.
The deception within the health industry is colossal. Doctors are now, nothing more than, drug pushers for big pharma.
Ratchild: We’ll just tell the goyim who get the cold & flu that they have the hoax Coronavirus.
Mongrelstein: They’ll believe anything we say, since we control everything. Power transcends truth.
Same figures everywhere else. The cold and common flu numbers go down while the Covid cases keep skyrocketing with the proven huge false-positive rates with the bogus testing intended to jack the numbers and maintain the controls. More telling are the actual death rates for 2020 from all causes which are no different from previous years. The numbers that are out there, which are too late for them to fudge, prove that the entire pandemic is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the world.
The origins of the scam are centered in the US and the UK, (coincidentally) which are the very centers of the two main banking dynasties controlling most of the global assets, and most governments on the planet, and most certainly those nations which reported the highest death numbers. Here are some other coincidences:
This is the same banking cartel which wants the rest of the world to “trust” it in administering and controlling a global currency cancelling their local ones.
This is the same cartel with huge investments in China and in other low-cost labor nations of the world which is behind free trade, and has been instrumental in transferring trillions in capital, industries, and jobs to other nations, to make every Western nation a debtor nation, and to make nations like China the leading creditor nation of the world.
This is the same cartel which has done everything possible to expand the Western debt bubble over the past 50 years to make our nations totally dependent on their generation of more baseless fiat currency leading to our total economic ruin.
This is the same cartel which controls all of the central banks, all of our major political parties, the media, and all of our governments.
This is the same cartel which has backed every UN Agenda and now the WEF Great Resets being ushered in under the cover of the Covid crisis and a host of other fake crises manufactured over recent decades.
This is the same cartel behind the fake UN “sustainability” crises, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Population Council and which is entirely responsible for the anti-family, anti-fertility, anti-child polices which have devastated the numbers of all generations which came after the baby-boom generation, and has produced such a hopeless environment for our young people.
This is the same cartel which has in effect killed economic demand in the West by shifting manufacturing to the East while using our markets systematically to bleed us out financially.
This is the same cartel which is behind the Covid scam to control and limit all of our activates according to their designs and surveillance control grids.
This is the same cartel which has to be disbanded and brought to account if we are to have any, freedom, balance, and survival for our civilization.
Stopped reading when I saw the words an MSM Guardian Post!! Complete and utter BS!!!!!
What an amazing coincidence! Huzzah, we’re saved! Thank you covid-1984 and medical-pharma cartel for curing the common cold and flu with your manufactured terrorism, despotic tyranny, trauma based conditioning, and psychopathic toxic death sludge vaxxtermination program.What a relief to know that the once trusted family physician has been replaced by sniveling cowards, clueless quacks, psychotic degenerates, and reckless poison pushers.
Fred B!
You nailed it there.
The great epicentrers are their habitat, since long.
The US though younger, and a colony, will soon probably show the path, in which how severe, their citizens are to be shackled.
For the world to follow, as said in their ”Reset-documents”.
But even i theThulean, people wear masks, long for wax against a common cold, and so prepare themselves for more bondage.
I spite of the lowest overall deathrate in a decennium, people believe it is a killer-virus.
A true feat of propaganda!
