Government lies, damn lies and statistics
– Victorian Population – 6,359,000
– COVID tests conducted – 1,633,900
– COVID cases – 11,557
– Positive cases to Victorian population – 0.18%
– Positive Case to Test Conducted Percentage – 0.70%
– COVID Deaths – 123
– Positive COVID Case Death rate – 1.06%
– COVID deaths to tests conducted – 0.0075% (read that again…)
– COVID deaths to total Victorian population: 0.0019% (read that again…)
– Median Age of COVID deaths: 82
– Australia’s life expectancy at 2017 – 82.50
There is a highly unusual occurrence in the 2020 influenza data. Based on the included charts , you will see there was a steadily increasing number of influenza cases at the start of 2020 that was almost in lockstep with the 2019 (record-breaking) influenza season. This was until March – at week 11 (when lockdown started), the influenza numbers across the country suddenly dropped off to almost zero at the same time as COVID numbers increased. The flu has remained at almost zero since (nearly 20 weeks later). Now, of course with lockdowns, increased sanitisation and social distancing, this would always reduce the spread of the flu in roughly equal proportion to the spread of COVID.
However (and here is where it gets mysterious), if the trigger for a large number of tests being conducted is people with “flu-like symptoms”, and 1.6 million COVID tests have been conducted with only 11.5k (0.7%) positive COVID cases, then by extension a reasonable portion of the 1.6 million tests should actually be the flu. Right?
Even if we took a rather conservative estimate of only 10% of tests conducted being the actual flu, this would still equate to a bit over 160,000 flu cases (or roughly half of last year’s national flu cases) – that is a lot. It is almost as if the existence of COVID and the flu are mutually exclusive. How is this possible?
Why is it that lab-confirmed influenza reporting has virtually stopped (not entirely but as close to stopped as you can get)?
Influenza has been an increasingly growing concern for the government and health departments over the past 3 or so years (with a record ~300,000 lab-confirmed influenza cases last year – nationally). It killed 902 people around the country, it appears to hit the vulnerable communities in just the same way COVID does.
So questions to be asked that the flu and COVID data raises
1. How did influenza numbers almost immediately stop at lockdown and have virtually remain flatlined since – even mid-way into peak season and even during a COVID second wave?
2. Why does it look as though COVID numbers have directly replaced flu numbers, yet the positive case to test ratio is still so low (0.70%)
3. If COVID remained contagious despite the implemented controls, why has the flu’s contagion rate almost completely fallen to zero?
4. Of all the people who showed “flu-like” symptoms but tested negative, why do they not show up on the flu data? If they had flu-like symptoms but not COVID, then what did they have?
5. Why has flu reporting stopped, and what are the implications of not having continuity in flu reporting, long term healthcare planning and management?
6. Who stands to gain by not reporting the flu during COVID?
7. What agendas are playing out on the absence of flu data as a reasonable and reliable baseline?
8. If COVID cases are still occurring (second wave), should there not be an equal/corresponding spike in regular flu cases (in line with the symptomatic but negative COVID tests) from people moving around?
9. If the flu has almost completely disappeared and has for the most part been replaced by COVID, will we ever be free of COVID? And further, if this is now the case, what is the acceptable target of COVID cases in circulation before we can get “back to normal”?
10. If contact tracing and tracking the spread of a new virus that symptomatically looks like the flu is important, why would the flu not be tested at the same time as covid to map how the flu is transmitting and behaving alongside COVID?
11. Is testing for flu not equally as important and responsible so people who test negative to covid but positive to the flu still operate safely in public?

We also need to know…
1 How many people who tested positive for Covid had had the flu injection ?
2. How many people who tested negative for Covid had had the flu injection?

Knowing that this is a well planned Plandemic, plz be wary of these so-called tests.
Are the COVID Tests a Way to Surreptitiously Infect or Implant People?

Excellent article and it’s imperative to share this as widely as possible. The only caveat I have is thay logically what is happening cannot be a SECOND wave. I agree with other analysts who explain the further infections are spread from the first infected, not newly introduced second wave.
Good article, thanks.
All eyes on COVID, never mind the flu.
Without Influenza, they have a pool of flu-like illness to draw COVID numbers from, purely by reassignment (i.e. by manipulation of tests and death count).
WHY DO WE NOT HEAR OF ELDERLY PEOPLE DYING OF OLD AGE COMPLICATIONS
ANYMORE SINCE MARCH 2020? Heart; Diabetes; Tumor; Cancer in it’s many forms; Trauma; Blood problems; Dementia; etc.
‘They’ apparently tell us they all had ‘COVID 19’!!!!!
Surely, all the certificates for the over 70 year old deaths cannot be attributed to ‘covid 19’?????
OR ARE THEY?
This is so well written, so clear… if only the majority of people would see, read and understand. Seems to mirror the way things have been in the US as well. No coincidence.
Funny, the SAME THING happened in the US. I was pissed that we were locking down at a time when only 80 people in the US had died from “Covid-19”. I went to the CDC’s website to see how many had died of flu during the 2019-2020 season. So far, they showed 48,600+ cases but stated results were not all in. A month later, when the fake news was reporting that Donald Trump had killed more Americans than the Vietnam war as 63,000 had allegedly died of “Covid-19” I went back to CDC.gov to see what the updated flu death stats were. The page had changed dramatically. They now reported that an “estimated” range of deaths from 12,000 to 61,000. No mention of 48,600+. I guess locking down and wearing masks not only stopped the spread of flu dead in its tracks, it even resurrected many of those who’d died from it.
Hi Kev, very sus! My guess is that the CV19 test (rated as very dodgy by the independent experts) often picks flu and calls it CV19 â although Di was tested to CV19 and told she had Flu B.
Cheers, PP
There is no doubt that we are being played here and the “Pandemic” neither existed then or now. CDC reporting demanded GPs, Hospitals etc report all Corona as CV19, hence the collapse of the figures or should we say manipulation. A Royal Commission needs to look into these figures and the whole scenario – Outside of government protections or influence. The terms of reference should not be guided by Parliament as they are complicit with Genocide and destroying an economy. The treachery that all governments in this country have displayed is nothing short of despicable and we should not forget the role of silence the oppositions have contributed to the scenario.
