1. Corona season is almost over. Blue bars: Severe respiratory infections at German sentinel clinics over past year (from week 12 2020 to week 11 2021). Grey line: % of SARI cases that are Coronapic.twitter.com/MfNRA5MFqL
2. Zooming in, we see that Corona's *share of infections* declined precipitously after week 14 2020. In week 14 2020 (30 March to 5 April), almost 1 in 3 SARI cases were Corona. By week 20 (17-23 May), only 5% were.pic.twitter.com/zWdDSuKds0
3. We are in week 12, near last year's peak for respiratory infections. Corona is a far higher portion of severe cases – 50% – mainly because influenza has disappeared. The overall number of SARI cases is lower. After Easter, Corona cases will steadily declinepic.twitter.com/1sqFcUkVbD
4. These are long-standing seasonal patterns, identical to those observed for influenza Anyone trying to sell you a model that shows cases peaking in May or June because vArIAnTz is selling you warmed-over propaganda from last year, when they said the same thing
5. Note that normal human Coronaviruses (hCov = dark orange-red), the kinds that cause colds, are also peaking right now.pic.twitter.com/eFkciux5cb

They're still testing for flu, just not finding it. My crazy theory is that corona has outcompeted it somehow
