I’ve got a couple of normies who won’t ever change their minds on anything. They fall back on some NYT Daily podcasts that had some guests on explaining how the drop in air passengers is what stopped the flu.

That because the northern hemisphere tends to get the flu strain in any given year from Australia or something like that. So with reduced air travel it meant reduced flu numbers.

Yet that didn’t seem to make a difference with Covid?

There’s always some way to explain all these anomalies away of course.
