nothing fishy going on here at all...

Not sure what his point is - "Hey man, fewer flu cases than typical!", which no shit, the population is being more cautious in general so the flu is down, but COVID is more contagious so we're FUBAR anyway.
As for our resident douche's consistent "The guy died in a car crash but they marked it as COVID" crap, my wife's aunt just died. She was asymptomatic COVID. The death was denoted as "natural causes", she was old, had been in a nursing home for quite some time. COVID didn't have an a priori impact on her death so that wasn't demarcated as a cause.
Meanwhile, my father in law needs surgery and it's scheduled for February, because the hospitals are swamped. It's not elective, it is urgent but not life threatening, so he waits. We are entering a phase where people will die, not with COVID, but because of COVID because they can't get necessary care.
