In Canada this flu season, more people have been diagnosed as getting the flu from the vaccine, than have from infection. 27 from the vaccine, and 20 from infection.
Despite testing for the flu 3x as much as previous years, the number of flu cases in Canada is down, not 5%, 10%, or even 50%. It is down 10,000%. Yes, ten thousand percent.
Despite testing for the flu 3x as much as previous years, the number of flu cases in Canada is down. In order to match past seasons the amount of flu cases at this time of year would need to increase not by 5%, 10%, or even 50%, it would need to increase 10,000% to match past seasons. Yes, ten thousand percent.
But.... there's no flu cases because all of the precautions are working.
If all of these precautions prevent the spread of viruses, then why aren't all of these precautions preventing the spread of viruses?
You can't be down 10,000%. The most you can be down is 100%. If you had 100,000 cases last year and 0 this year, you're only down 100%. If you were down by 10,000% there'd be negative 10,000,000 cases this year.
Fuck. You're right, I worded that wrong.
There would need to be 10,000% more cases than there are right now in order to match past flu seasons.
