In Australia we have had now two years without flu having any effect on the population.
What is the reason for this?
It seems there are three reasons for this one external and two internal.
- Social distancing has meant most people are comfortably away from anyone having the flu infecting the,
- People working are either at home or told by employers do not come to work even if you have a sniffle.
- No immigration means flu is not imported into Australia as it normally is.
Going forward I believe both internal reasons will continue however as we open up flu will be brought in, I have seen few articles n on this topic thus I will predict with absolutely no knowledge what so ever the flu season from now on will be far lass deadly and infect a much smaller proportion of the population than it di in the past.
Ironically this all occurred because of covid.
