Remember in about September, the ridiculous drive to get everyone vaccinated against flu??

I was saying to my family, and probably also on this thread, that I didn't believe there would BE a flu season this winter.
I was right.

Important because there are several papers showing that those vaccinated against flu have a higher propensity for Coronavirus infection than those who are unvaccinated. Odd that it works out like that, but that's the science.
(skeptics, please look back in this thread to around 23-30 Sept 2020 for the papers..)

Not a single case of flu detected by Public Health England this year ...

1 day ago ... Not a single case of influenza has been detected by public health officials in England for the past seven weeks, with infection rates at historic lows...

Raises another question. If we managed to block the flu, what is so super duper about COVID that all the precautions aren't stopping it? Or perhaps someone is lying?

I can answer this.

For SARS-CoV-2, we have a R0 of 5.7:
[link to wwwnc.cdc.gov (secure)]
we calculated a median R0 value of 5.7 (95% CI 3.8–8.9).

Flu has an R0 of about 1.2 to 1.3 so much MUCH less transmissible.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79761702


The R number isn’t fixed, but can be affected by a range of factors, including not just how infectious a disease is but how it develops over time, how a population behaves, and any immunity already possessed thanks to infection or vaccination.

The R0 is not 5.7 when measures are taken.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76750754


My word, you are a pillock!

I am stating as FACT that COVID is FAR MORE TRANSMISSIBLE THAN FLU.
I don;t care if 5.7 is Los Alamos National Laboratory's best estimate but the 95% Confidence Interval means it ends up at 3.8 or as high as 8.9..

Point is - COVID is not going to disappear whilst flu does disappear when certain level of measures are taken.

Pillock!
