Do any downvoters care to actually explain their reasoning? Wikipedia puts flu deaths during the last pre-pandemic season at 60K in the US.

I mean there is no reasoning. We never did this crap for other illness. It’s as if people woke up on March 2020 and discovered “holy crap people die of illness!!”

Orlando is having a water shortage due to lack of liquid oxygen to treat water, because it is being diverted to COVID patients. That does not typically happen during flu season.
