Can't be flu can it, because that's miraculously disappeared!

What's miraculous about flu disappearing? Most Covid countermeasures (masking, distancing) work on flu, we already had a flu vaccine, and flu is far less contagious.

I'd also imagine that if you were susceptible to the flu, you'd also be susceptible to COVID. So some of those who got COVID got that instead of the flu.

If you call all the measures against covid miraculously, sure.

And why would the flu deaths suddenly be up so much compared to earlier years? And how would it do that while we're looking for it and don't find it?
