.chrislhayes: There was basically no flu season in the U.S. this winter. Turns out, when you take steps to make it harder for germs to travel from person to person, you suppress infectious diseases.

chrislhayes But masks don’t work right 😼

mehdirhasan chrislhayes This must be put in braille otherwise not a single Repugnatcan can read it

chrislhayes Imagine that. We never needed the vaccine just good hygiene and masks....

chrislhayes I'm thinking there's a relation between the flu and school shootings - no flu, no school shootings

chrislhayes Bringing back this best ever COVID19 PSA video! 🎶 ...never seen folks so dramatic 🎶 over a f*ing piece of fabric 🎶 Wear a mask 🎶 Wear a mask. 🎶 Wear a mask!

chrislhayes Or you could be a very good magician..

chrislhayes Or data just screw up as Newyork, not only flu case, but heart disease also went down! Amazing COVID-19 can do to you

chrislhayes Just wait until they go back to school. While you 'suppress' the virus you suppress the immune system.

chrislhayes I think this is misleading,ppl just don't want to go to see doctor and just take of the counter medicine, don't want to sit in the waiting room out of fear that, they may get Covid 19, that's been said your main point still true.

chrislhayes This is why makes are fairly common in public in East Asian countries.

chrislhayes Really? Who knew? Oh, just every doctor that I've ever talked to! 🙄 I was never sick until I moved into the city around other people who don't respect personal space. At least stores are cleaner now, people are at an appropriate distance, and I'll be keeping my masks. 😷

chrislhayes Now do the number of extra deaths caused by the COVID lockdown and the number that will be caused by the lasting social and economic effects.

chrislhayes Hmmmmm. 🤔 Maybe hardcore Mandalorians have the right idea.

mehdirhasan chrislhayes And you know if you put a tooth under your pillow, turns out there might be a little something special there in its place, when you wakey

mehdirhasan chrislhayes You know that the RWNJs will say, 'Oh, that's cuz all the flu cases were counted as covid cases.'

chrislhayes This is very telling and alarming about disease in humans. What else are we transmitting from person to person.?

chrislhayes But so many people ignored all of the recommendations

chrislhayes Social distancing works on many levels. It’s been over a year since I had my last STD! Yay me!

chrislhayes So I see... we should be... Social distancing forever?

chrislhayes Come on man. You really believe this Everything is covid now.

MountainGreener chrislhayes 💯💯💯💯💯

chrislhayes Who'd a thunk it?

chrislhayes Masks work!

mehdirhasan chrislhayes Wow. What a novel concept and finding 😀

chrislhayes This is a great side result from pandemic precautions. So if masks, hygiene & distancing had this effect on the flu, IMAGINE what the death toll from COVID would have been had we NOT done what (little) we did!! Think what we could have done if we REALLY tried to kick COVID's ass!

chrislhayes When this is over people will go back to how they were

chrislhayes Same thing with colds...weren't too many of those, either. Big Pharma that makes cold and flu medications took a financial bath this past winter.... couldn't have happened to nicer people LOL

chrislhayes Months ago, I read that Australia's flu season was reduced by 98%! Some articles have implied that in the US, since so many aren't following the protocols, it could be that a degree of the reduction is due to COVID crowding out flu virus to keep it from taking hold.

chrislhayes It took you a whole fucking year to figure this out?

mehdirhasan chrislhayes funny how that works

chrislhayes That will be new news to virtually all Republicans & certainly most of the GQP. who of course jumped the line to get their vaccines before anyone else in the country!

theharsh33 chrislhayes How does this cancel flu but not Covid?

chrislhayes It was here you just changed the name to covid-19 remember

chrislhayes Why didn't it work for coronavirus then?

chrislhayes So how are people getting covid? This makes no sense

chrislhayes Wear masks forever. Socially distance forever. We have lost our ability to assess and analyze risk.

chrislhayes This is scientifically phony with no truth in it. Something is not right with what's going on. We are being played and they are using fake science to do it.

chrislhayes Bulshit

SherrySmolders chrislhayes Well..duuuuuh

mehdirhasan chrislhayes This effect will domino as well. Even if next year we are back to pre-pandemic attitudes, the flu will not be as powerful. If we did this for ten years, influenza would be nearly non-existent and the common cold would be so mild that you may never even know you had it.

chrislhayes The flu was virtually non-existent the season because alot of its cases were mischaracterized as Covid19

chrislhayes but just shows you how bad Redfield was as CDC Director-- In a recorded interview for JAMA Network, CDC director Robert R. Redfield, MD shared his own “biggest fear,” about COVID and flu: that together, they could completely overwhelm our nation’s hospitals this winter. maddow

chrislhayes Who’d thought ?

chrislhayes Imagine that, hand washing and staying away from strangers has benefits... who knew. Oh yeah, anyone with common sense. Before covid we weren't able to keep away from people even if we wanted to.

chrislhayes Another good reason to wear a mask and wash hands.

chrislhayes I’ve had influenza three times in my life. Never had it in the winter. Always in the early Spring. Not a good time for people to be unmasking.

chrislhayes What a shock, the flu vaccine that they make a guess on based on the southern hemisphere winter helps too. I tried to get mine, but there wasn't enough supply. But handwashing and proper mask use, I mean cmon, I've adapted, its not that hard.

mehdirhasan chrislhayes ☀️ Please Help Save Lives ➡️ Wear a Mask 😷 ✅ Social Distance ✅ Wash Your Hands ✅ Avoid Large Gatherings ➡️ Get Your COVID19 Vaccination ⚕️ WHCOVIDResponse ⚕️ CDCDirector ⚕️ CDCgov ⚕️ HHSGov ⚕️ US_FDA 🇺🇸 POTUS Biden 🇺🇸 VP Harris 🇺🇸 SenateDems 🇺🇸 HouseDemocrats

mehdirhasan chrislhayes How many Americans will adopt the safety protocols in the future knowing how it curtailed the flu? Sadly very few I fear. They will go back to coughing without covering their mouths and not washing their hands as much.

chrislhayes Masks are magic!!!

chrislhayes So accurate

chrislhayes Isn’t that the goal?

chrislhayes This is exactly why I will be wearing a mask for the remainder of my life.

chrislhayes nice

chrislhayes We didn’t need you to point that out you clown 🤡

chrislhayes So we traded one disease for another...so what, same amount dead

chrislhayes Now do pediatric suicides for the same years. Sadly, the lockdowns are not reducing death for people under 18.

chrislhayes Or the name was changed for profit and control

chrislhayes Bull 💩

chrislhayes Goes to show that masks work💯

chrislhayes its also helps when numbers are inflated by political agenda

chrislhayes Basically this shows that we should all wear masks indefinitely. It should be mandatory like pants.

chrislhayes This data, the fact hospitals use masks all the time to prevent infection from spreading and the studies and recommendation from experts on COVID transmission and there are still many fools that say masks do NOT work. Put your pride aside for a few months for us all

chrislhayes What happened to all the doom and gloom flu shot hysteria. I've never had a flu shot and never had the flu. When you come from outside..wash your hands.We were taught that as kids. I'm 72yrs old. Worked then...works now. 🍾🥂👀😎

Clayton_Murph chrislhayes Some will never get it.. Let them get sick.. Those of us who are smart and respect life understand how this works.

chrislhayes They stopped testing for the flu in most areas and called it all covid. Plenty of colds and flu's going around.

chrislhayes I would be very happy to wear a mask next year during flu season even if Covid is under control. It works. But then I always respected science.

chrislhayes Turns out, when you pay more for doctors treating COVID, everything they see becomes COVID.

chrislhayes People that are willing to stand with Trump and the lies, this is how I see it! Like the old saying goes, I can’t see the forest for the trees 🌳 well let me tell you! The trees 🌲 are the forest! And a lie no matter what color you paint it, a lie is a lie!

chrislhayes

chrislhayes Masks are Common Sense during Flu Season. Washing hands and Social Distancing as well. Let's keep up the good practices? It will save lives.

chrislhayes This is unbelieveable!!

chrislhayes Over 100 children still alive today because of masks. Over 100 single or sets of parents enjoying the love between parent and child, watching their child grow and look towards the future. Wonderful. ❤️

chrislhayes OR, covid fucked the shit out of flu in their own cosmos ! 🤣

chrislhayes That is a lie, the regular flu cases were the same this year they just got labeled as Covid

chrislhayes That is because COVID is the Flu

chrislhayes The combination of lies and ignorance is staggering.Public health professionals have known for a long time this stuff has no effect on influenza. It’s called viral interference, folks.

chrislhayes ¿Cómo se contagia el Sars-Cov-2

chrislhayes Ha ummm yeah nurses & doctors have been preventing the spread of germs by wearing masks for decades 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️Why the hell else would we wear them

chrislhayes It's actually amazing how callous we were collectively before CoVid knowing how the flu was transmitted & how deadly it is to some in our country In the future, whether CoVid is still a threat or not, I will consider wearing a mask during flu season while in crowded places.

chrislhayes I feel so very sad for the LAID OFF CHINESE who produce America's cough syrup and billions of pills each winter.

chrislhayes Covid-19 is a flu hello.

chrislhayes I saw an expose’ where the doctors were told to list deaths by flu, colds, preexisting conditions, all as Covid deaths! Apparently the hospitals get subsidies for Covid related illnesses! If you are hospitalized for anything guess where you go? To the Covid ward of course!

chrislhayes Because every sickness was labled 'Covid' and doctors weren't seeing patients to test for flu anyway...

chrislhayes Dear Boise Capitol dummies.....

chrislhayes The same is the case for Australia. No flu last winter. HumblePips

chrislhayes This a great argument for permanent lockdowns. 👍

chrislhayes Why didn't tge CDCFlu suggest masks and hand washing for the flu?

chrislhayes Why? Because of masks and obsessive hand washing/sanitizing, duh

chrislhayes I will continue wearing a Mask going out shopping, it doesn’t bother me at all . I like not catching a cold!

chrislhayes Because every sniffle, sneeze and cough was declared as COVID. All flu symptoms became COVID disease. That’s why there was only 1 case of the flu!

chrislhayes BillGates Hey Bill gates, when you going to 'FIX' the Large File Name Error and give it Unlimited access to transfer files using Large or Long File names, even though the files I try to transfer on the same drive and to back drives too, are not going over the characters limits!!

chrislhayes You have to love science and civic responsibility

chrislhayes This may not be a blessing. Exposure to some virus can elicit an immunity. Mask up, roll up your sleeve, social distance, reduce unnecessary travel.

chrislhayes When I lived in Japan as a Navy brat, the Japanese wore masks all the time! Commonplace thing to keep down the spread. No one even paid attention! Smart!!

chrislhayes Is this what really being pro-life means?

chrislhayes Turns out when you call every case of the flu covid 19 you can manipulate the numbers.

chrislhayes So, no flu herd immunity. We'll get pounced next year and we'll basically be susceptible to anything. You're funny.

chrislhayes So what this means is when Twice Impeached did all those superspreader events, he was also enabling the flu to spread as well ? Twice Impeached is truly a disease upon this nation. SenateGOP GOP GOPLeader PAHouseGOP PASenateGOP HouseGOP SenateDems HouseDemocrats

chrislhayes Could it be because people were wearing MASKS , just like we SHOULD BE right n ow?

chrislhayes Statistics don't lie. Politicians lie. More of the red states will open up and the resulting increase in contractions and death will increase and the blame will be put on the administration with a lot of 'I told you it wouldn't work'. Th

chrislhayes Masks and lockdowns. Sorry haters but thousands of lives were saved this year because measures put in place to combat the pandemic eliminated the seasonal flu bug. That’s actual science you can’t refute

chrislhayes Or maybe the flu deaths got mixed in with the China virus.

chrislhayes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or maybe because they said everything was coronavirus? We saw this coming dumbass..

chrislhayes I don’t know about you, but I am going to wear a mask for as long as I want!

chrislhayes ....and just how contagious Covid 19 is.

chrislhayes I’ve lived in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Pipeline wear masks when they’re ill. As a courtesy. It’s just what they do.

chrislhayes Yay masks!

chrislhayes You've got to be fucking kidding me. Doctors have been diagnosing everyone with an ailment of any kind as Covid positive. Gtfoh with that bs msm data.

chrislhayes That’s interesting. I wonder why so many people didn’t know that masks and social distancing help to stop virus transmission. 🤔

chrislhayes There was a flu season. I had it and it passed around rapidly. It was masked as “Novel COVID 19” and treated as such.

chrislhayes First time in years I’ve not had the flu and bronchial illness, years

chrislhayes I believe in masks. I believe in socially distancing. LI believe in the Covid Vax. Covid isn’t the Flu.But I also believe that any Covid stuff that showed up they marked as a Covid gram had stage 4 cancer of a unk origin but marked COD was COVID

chrislhayes There is no proof that the 'steps to make it harder for germs to travel' prevent infection, as can be seen with the coronavirus infection. However, the low flu death numbers indicate that both flu and coronavirus death numbers should be carefully investigated.

chrislhayes Hmmm. How come those steps did not suppress Covid?

chrislhayes So masks work for Flu? Why aren't they working after 15 days to slow the spread and keep hospitals able to handle the overcrowding of cases?

chrislhayes So I guess we’re going to do these government mandated lockdowns every winter to save lives?

chrislhayes I mean...duh?

chrislhayes Seems like common sense. But Fauci warned of the opposite.

chrislhayes I just moved to your city, who wouldn't mind showing me interesting places?

chrislhayes or they were all identified as covid

chrislhayes People still caught the flu, it was just labeled something else.

chrislhayes Amazing people believe this

chrislhayes SCIENCE IS REAL!!

chrislhayes Yall have got to be the thickest skulls ever

chrislhayes Only b cause Joe Biden “won” the election. If Trump had won it would have been the deadliest year on record, & it would be 100% his fault.

chrislhayes That is because Covid is the flu you stupid idiots. Sheep

chrislhayes The Republican Governors are planning on changing those statistics. They're still trying to please Donald even though he's no longer in office.

chrislhayes Wearing a mask is my new game plan. In public for the rest of my days. Why not?

chrislhayes Lies

chrislhayes Those are amazing numbers! Why “some people” can’t see the connection between precautionary measures and decreasing infectious disease transmission, is just unbelievable to me.

chrislhayes Schools are Petri dishes... Masks work... Social distancing works... Just think how much worse it might have been.They are not the same virus and there is immunity in the community to flu from vaccinations,but is shows how just a little more tweaking of one’s environment helps

chrislhayes Oh I see it’s Chris Hayes reporting the king of convoluting the facts

chrislhayes So... let's just shutdown every flu season to save lives. What? You're in favor of all these people dying to flu because YOU don't want to isolate yourself?

chrislhayes I think you need to read the CDC report it contradicts what you’re saying, or are you only saying about pediatric deaths

chrislhayes Also because most people have stayed out of crowds. I haven’t been to the movies, theater, concert hall, even a super market. I haven’t visited with anyone either. So who would I have caught it from?

chrislhayes Or more likely hospitals are lying to get mor $$$ from the feds

chrislhayes This isn't a good reflection. Hospitals don't normally test for the flu. You got symptoms, you got it. With covid, the symptoms are pretty similar. You show up, you are assumed to have Covid and not the flu. Not everyone was tested for Covid who had symptoms. Bad numbers.

chrislhayes Yet none of the measures translated to stopping the covid virus.

chrislhayes Turns out, when you treat ever sniffle like it's a positive Covid19 case, you don't count a lot of normal flu cases.

chrislhayes Or they reported all flu cases as COVID dummy...

chrislhayes Trump cured the flu! Another win. Trump 2024!

chrislhayes A manager with so much ambition goals towards his investors, a man with love and care for others welfare....you’re magnificent when it comes to investment sir gigsfrid

chrislhayes Global warming might also have something to do with it.

chrislhayes Because all the flu swathes have been tagged Covid

chrislhayes Shut up. That’s so much bull.

chrislhayes Cheap and effective treatment, wear a mask.

chrislhayes I got my flu shot in October and will get it again this coming October.

chrislhayes Same here and Australia

chrislhayes i havent had the cold or flu since sanitizer was made vailable everywhere

chrislhayes Remember that a mild cold is a coronavirus. Coronaviruses can cause colds with major symptoms, such as fever, and a sore throat from swollen adenoids. Normally this time of the year there would be a huge surge of flu cases in thousands and 60,000 deaths This year its all COVID.

chrislhayes Yes, that's a fun fact!

chrislhayes Democrats will push to shutdown America every flu season now

chrislhayes I will only take off my mask and leave my house when every threat has been eliminated and the vaccine is 100+% effective. Until then, we all should continue to suffer. Thanks Joe keep it up!

chrislhayes Flawed study.

chrislhayes How woulda figured? Just keep washing your damn hands and staying out of my personal space. Please and thank you. : )

chrislhayes Also, many children are not attending in person school, flu travels fast within children under 12...

chrislhayes You know damn well that's not the take away people are going to get from this 🤨

chrislhayes Shocker! Amazing how that worksn

chrislhayes Everyone should wear masks in public forever

chrislhayes Or, 185 deaths or so were falsely contributed to Covid for financial gain. Guess which one is more likely because the same number of people died in 2020 than the previous 5 years. SCAM

CaseyHinds chrislhayes 😷 🤷🏻‍♂️😷🤷🏻‍♂️😷🤷🏻‍♂️😷🤷🏻‍♂️😷🤷🏻‍♂️😷🤷🏻‍♂️😷🤷🏻‍♂️

chrislhayes This same tweet will be taken completely out of context and distorted by 47% thank for for the 53%. Perhaps the flu is a hoax .

chrislhayes I either had the flu in mid-February... or Covid

chrislhayes ✡︎♏︎⧫︎ 👍︎🏳︎✞︎🖐︎👎︎ ♍︎♋︎⬧︎♏︎⬧︎ ⬧︎🙵︎⮹︎❒︎□︎♍︎🙵︎♏︎⧫︎♏︎♎︎

chrislhayes Rob Reiner is not going to like this !

chrislhayes The lockdown is over you clowns!

chrislhayes Imagine that!!!!

chrislhayes I won't be giving up wearing my mask in public any time soon. PS: I also really liked having a warm face this winter.

chrislhayes To be fair the only reason the flu was down was because people were sick and dying of COVID

chrislhayes This seems like common sense but let’s see what the Republicans think 🤔.

chrislhayes And now all the crazies are going to recommend mandatory masks and isolation every winter.

LeoRautins chrislhayes Or.... ALL flu was identified as covid 19🤷‍♂️

chrislhayes Guess the public willnow agree that masks keep germs at bay .

chrislhayes Thank You Dr. Hayes - Remarkable !! Eureka!! Trump and Republicans caused the virus....Democrats and Biden eradicated the 'normal' flu...and we should all believe your statistics because you wouldn't say it if it wasnt true!!!

chrislhayes Well when you stop testing for flu and make it all covid......

chrislhayes But... what about destroying the economy? The increased suicide rate? The massive unemployment? The loss of socialization for kids at schools? Leave it to a liberal to focus on one positive aspect at the expense of ALL the horrible consequences.

chrislhayes Turns out when you mark every death as being caused by covid to make the numbers look big you cure the flu, heart attacks drop dramatically. Cancer is almost cured. Wheres Biden

LeoRautins chrislhayes we will be wearing masks during flu season from now on, pandemic or no pandemic. I don't know one person who has had a cold or the flu. be safe.

chrislhayes What Have you heard of covid?

chrislhayes I hope people be more vigilante from now on. Mask wearing when sick should be ok, view as a gesture of goodwill not as evil, suppressive BS. Washing hands, cleaning door knobs, elevator buttons and other surfaces should a common thing. Make work from home when sick days ok.

chrislhayes Haha when you close businesses and events, make children stay at home, social distance, everybody use mask. Then you see results. Wow what a shocker. Let's do this every year or just kill ourselves....

chrislhayes All it took was stopping society as we know it

chrislhayes and yet some states want to give the flu and covid more chances to kill people

HC_Richardson chrislhayes Who woulda thunk it. Ha!

chrislhayes I’m sure flu cases were down due to masks but also down due to misclassification to Covid.

chrislhayes I bought 100 KN95 masks from Costco. I will be wearing a mask for years to come, in stores, at least, especially in the winter.

chrislhayes Bullshit alot of people still didnt wear masks but hey when you claim every sickness and death as covid what do you expect. Yall are the most obvious liars out there

chrislhayes Careful now, this is getting into SCIENCE and there are like.. 75 Million Americans that will cause physical harm to those of us that speak of it publicly Good to see that what the smart ones of us knew is validated though, that masks work

chrislhayes I agree that the mask wearing and social distancing probably played a big role, but you have to wonder how many people were tested for the flu when millions of COVID-19 tests were being done? Influenza is still confirmed by a diagnostic test not a video visit.

chrislhayes Then explain the huge wave of Covid in same time window.

chrislhayes Unbelievable!!

chrislhayes Makes you wonder why schools have not made hygiene a core part of instruction before.

chrislhayes So if everyone wears a mask you same 200 lives from the flu? What about getting rid of cigarettes? How many does that save from cancer? To much money made that’s why it doesn’t happen. Liberal bullshit

chrislhayes I was an X-ray tech for 30 years. The ONLY tech who NEVER called in sick changed mask and gloves with each patient, washing his hands before and after gloving, removing gloves

chrislhayes Now Chris. Why would you want to inject logic and common sense into this discussion about virus spread? Lol. It's unAmerican at the moment. Will be withaiting for some Republican to say that your statement is not true . Lol

chrislhayes Wow! I’d call that PROOF!!!!!!! From SCIENCE no less!!!

chrislhayes I'm shocked to find that if sick people don't breathe on me, I don't get sick.

latitanica chrislhayes The face masks..make a different

chrislhayes So the 500k so called deaths were people who didn’t wear masks lol. Ask cuomo about the deaths in nursing homes 🖕🖕🖕off hypocrites.

HC_Richardson chrislhayes 👏👏👏👏👏mask for flu season every year!

chrislhayes To answer your stupid azz question msnbc is because everything was listed as Covid. Heart attacks,cancer, suicides , car crashes and so on. Stop your bullst

chrislhayes and when you suppress travel from North to South in the winter, and South to North in the summer, the virus doesn't spread.

chrislhayes Same thing happened during SARS. People washed their hands and flu cases dropped.

chrislhayes The only problem with this is, if you don’t get exposed to the flu you can’t build up an immunity to it. In the end it may become more life-threatening to some. Of course… You can get a flu vaccine.

chrislhayes Ummmm it because EVERYTHING is being called Covid!! Come on ridiculous!! The flu did mot just miraculously vanish!! And it not cause of masks, or there wouldn’t be any Covid either!!🙄🙄🙄🙄

chrislhayes Masks work

chrislhayes Who'd a thunk it? MaskUp StayAwayFromMe

HC_Richardson chrislhayes This is a stupid take.

chrislhayes Ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

chrislhayes Now do Covid. If there are so many “idiots” not following rules why did flu end & not Covid. Hint: it’s not masks & distancing. Could be Virus competition, mischaracterization or testing. This is straight up deluded cognitive dissonance & propaganda.FtheNewNormal

NCfarmer321 chrislhayes

chrislhayes I think the numbers are down on the number of flu cases/deaths because hospitals, doctor offices aren't testing for the flu, ONLY Covid. I experienced this last week in my own family.

chrislhayes 'Turns out, when you take steps to make it harder for germs to travel from person to person, you suppress infectious diseases.'? - Yes - That's the Reason!! BY the Way - Jesus Christ Died of Covid 19 B.C. - it was only a mere coincidence he was hanging on the cross at the time.

chrislhayes It also helped that kids weren’t in school.

chrislhayes No, it's because you have to be TESTED FOR THE FLU! C19 test is not a flu test. Flu vs C19 have similar symptoms, C19 is a stronger virus, but still NOT A DEATH SENTENCE. You really need to think before you talk!

chrislhayes So should we always be in shutdown mode during flu season? Is that the point of this?

chrislhayes If that was covid, the 1 is too many and requires triple masking, shutdowns and lib nut bags becoming virologists.

chrislhayes Studies show that a plastic bag held tightly over your head quickly cuts your risk of all other mortalities to practically zero!

chrislhayes If the CORONA virus numbers went up, but the flu numbers went down, it has nothing to do with wearing masks.

chrislhayes Yup. Am going full-mask every winter from now on.

chrislhayes Like keeping schools closed and forbidding gatherings? But at least suicides,drug overdoses and prescriptions for anti - depression medicines are up. That should be of some conciliation to the lock down fanatics.

chrislhayes What's truly staggering, is that in a year which recorded just a single (US) influenza death, the coronavirus managed to kill 500,000.

JasmineBager chrislhayes But what about the aspect of training the immune system? Human society isn't meant to be seperated forever, we shall be in contact, emotionally and physically.

chrislhayes It's because there is no influenza, never had been, just lies, no viruses either, they're not real, all lies! Oh, they're coming to take me away, ha ha, they're coming to take me away, hee hee...

chrislhayes every single flu symptom was changed to Covid

chrislhayes Or the flu related deaths are being reported as Covid deaths just?

chrislhayes wow Chris Hayes is amazing. let's stop using cars, make it illegal, think of all the lives saved. and boats too. also put fat people in jail, put them on 500 calorie a day diets until they are normal weight. then ban alcohol, weed, bicycles, skateboards. Swimming! Ban swimming!

chrislhayes Or it's because anyone with a sniffle or cough must stay home and quarantine instead of powering through, going to work and doing things they need to do.

chrislhayes AMAZING!! If only the Republicans would take all their voter suppression bullshit and use it against the virus.

chrislhayes I don't know of one person who has worn a mask who caught a cold in the past year-plus.

chrislhayes That’s really strange with all the maskless, racist Nazis that are the focus of your programming every night causing super spreader events in shitty states like Florida, Texas, and Kentucky you’d think the flu season would be killing scores of them, like normal?

chrislhayes I've been completely cold and flu free this last year. Will continue to mask/distance/hand wash when in crowded places, even after covid is gone

chrislhayes LMAO

chrislhayes Dam flu

chrislhayes The money the fed's gave hospitals is why there was no FLU but the truth is there was flu but hospitals didn't get paid for that. car accident patients were covid deaths as long as they tested positive after death. $$$$ the flu will be back when we stop paying for covid

chrislhayes Didn’t you ever see street scenes of Japan & other eastern countries?You can always spot a few masks. They have been ahead of the rest of the world for years & years.

chrislhayes ...as opposed to Neanderthalthinking, GregAbbott_TX

chrislhayes There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting a comment about gigsfrid

chrislhayes I wonder if flu vaccination rate was higher, too

chrislhayes This isnt fishy at all.

chrislhayes We should all wear masks every flu season. We would literally save hundreds of children

chrislhayes Amazing discovery! Honestly, I might wear a mask and take hand sanitizer with me everywhere from now on. I get bronchitis several times a year. It was nice not to get it this year.

chrislhayes COVID19 has definitely been worse than the usual flu season and this flu season, too.

chrislhayes They called everything Covid instead of the flu so they could get money from the government

chrislhayes This should be the proof that the dunderhead mask deniers can't find.

chrislhayes Isn’t part of the decrease the enormous reduction in global travel? If there was no flu in Australia (whose season comes before ours) then there would be no flu here. And even more so because no one is traveling AND we did a good job getting vaccinated.

chrislhayes

chrislhayes Wonder how many infections and deaths from the flu where attributed to Covid. You know fever headaches... Symptoms that are so simular to Covid.

chrislhayes It was all lumped in one catagory as PCR test do not differentiate. PIC ( pneumonia , influenza and Covid). Many urgent cares didn’t even test. They listed symptoms and said it’s Covid.

chrislhayes try hiring journalists to host your shows, you might be able to convince people instead of arrogantly stirring up your traditional viewership over how stupid you think the other side is. Of course journalism doesn’t sell as well as self affirming rhetoric, does it?

chrislhayes Helps when you count everything as covid as well I suppose. I heard a lot less people died from stage 4 cancer. Impressive. Idiot.

chrislhayes Huh. How about that.

chrislhayes I love this report!

chrislhayes 22,000 is not exactly none. The death rate would probably be low all the time if people got shots every year.

chrislhayes Because mask work from spreading covid or the flu

chrislhayes TwitterSupport This post needs to be taken down for misinformation. There is no science behind this and they are literally making shit up.

chrislhayes Imagine shutting down the entire country to save 187 lives. What should we do to save all of the lives aborted?

chrislhayes Get ready for FORCED mask wearing and FORCED shutdowns every winter. Government never misses an opportunity to cause permanent damage to the economy. Shameful.

chrislhayes Because everything is called COVID. No heart attacks ,no cancer, no traffic deaths, no suicides etc. wake up America it’s all a hoax 🖕🖕🖕

BonniBK chrislhayes I wear a mask. I support mask wearing. We still had 500,000 people die from a disease that is transmitted mostly through the air. Let's not forget that before we do a victory dance.

chrislhayes And, gunshot victims ALSO went down! It’s a miracle!

chrislhayes If mask and social distancing works so well the how come Covid was so bad?

chrislhayes If lockdowns work so well, why haven't they?

chrislhayes If masks work so well, why haven't they?

chrislhayes JournalismIsDead no one deserves more applause than this man and his platform. msnbc irresponsibility shows no bounds.

chrislhayes If there are 6000 cases reported with a 5% positivity rate ... what do the 5700 people that presented with flu like symptoms have ..? The FLU ..... wake up people

chrislhayes Other than taming COVID, there were tangible benefits of masking. I thought hiding my ugly mug was the biggest one until I read this.

chrislhayes You think we are that stupid...?.?.?

chrislhayes We in Australia tried to tell you this. We didn’t have a flu season last year. We have also noticed a massive decrease in other respiratory illnesses too. I think masks should be used every flu season.

chrislhayes Turns out that when you have the chinese virus to blame everything else doesn't exist. Not the flu, heart attacks, not vehicle accidents, all deaths are now because of the CHINESE VIRUS nothing else.

chrislhayes Talk about a huge lie! LOL they just changed the name of the regular flu to Corona is all they did here

chrislhayes What if we’ve wiped out some viruses by not allowing them to propagate for a year?

RpsAgainstTrump chrislhayes Duh!!

RpsAgainstTrump chrislhayes Tell me again how masks don’t work!! maskupsaveslives

chrislhayes From the CDC- “Among these 121 decedents, 91 (75%) had an underlying medical condition,* 79 (65%) died after admission to a hospital, and 39 (32%) died at home or in the emergency department (ED).“ 121 people aged 20 or lower died from Covid in 2020. Less than the flu in 2019?

chrislhayes If you die in a car wreck, med examiner will put Covid on the death certificate. Anyone who dies of the flu or even the common cold is death by Covid! The hospitals are hemorrhaging money with no elective surguries and treatments! They make Covid subsidies with every patient!

RpsAgainstTrump chrislhayes The current levels of the flu, amazingly low, proves just how contagious COVID-19 is.

chrislhayes FOX NEWS today: masks don’t work! Masks help Drs surgeons scientists welders painters press operators auto body cutter.... etc MASKS WORK -

Imelda4Ever chrislhayes I remember last year, it was all about washing your hands and physical distancing. Then came masks. Amazing what proper hygiene and wearing a mask accomplishes. No flu or colds! WearADamnMask 😷

kurtbardella chrislhayes If I’m sick, from now on I will wear a mask if I have to go out in public.

chrislhayes I wonder if the Supreme Court is paying attention.

chrislhayes Masks

chrislhayes donny🐑🐑🐑 why, pray tell Masks 🐑OMG social distancing 🐑OMG vaccinations 🐑🐑🐑OMG OMG OMG

RpsAgainstTrump chrislhayes Should we just keep wearing the masks?

chrislhayes Who woulda thunk all those masks actually did something useful...

chrislhayes I’m set to wear a mask every winter. No flu, no stomach virus, no pneumonia yet this year. Wearing the mask prevents spread of all of those things..I’m all in..

chrislhayes Maybe if we all take medical precautions when going out in public we could eradicate all spreadable diseases.

chrislhayes Wow! WOW!

chrislhayes I guess the Covid germs are just MUCH smarter than flu germs. assclown

chrislhayes Mask wearing and hand washing works.

chrislhayes Ask the donny🐑 why that is They can NOT answer that one!!

chrislhayes Common sense is such an irony!

chrislhayes How easy it could have been all these generations ago to guard ourselves against the effects/illness & deaths of influenza just by wearing a mask.😔👀

chrislhayes Or maybe some flu deaths get counted as Covid deaths.....Just saying

chrislhayes Isn't science amazing? 😷 (Wait, I think I hear a Repub saying something about coincidence and how it proves nothing.)

We did it! 🎉🎈

chrislhayes COVID is the new flu

chrislhayes And people can't understand this is because of masks! Guess what, maskless it works for covid to.
