IL Dept of Public Health shows Flu is almost not existent in 2020 (we all know what that means)

Well, the numbers don’t lie. COVID has “replaced” the seasonal flu on paper going into the “worst” COVID season (or the “dark winter”). Hat tip to this individual for the lead.

“BUT THE HOSPITALS ARE OVERWHELMED WITH COVID!!!!!!”. Yes, for billing purposes. Even the annoying biased “fact checkers“ state as such.

So the seasonal flu is all but gone in Illinois in 2020 according to the Department of Public health, but the hospitals are “overwhelmed“ with COVID-19 patients. Can the COVID Nazis please put their hysteria aside for a moment and use some critical thinking here, as the hospitals and healthcare systems will get MORE MONEY for a COVID/presumed COVID diagnosis.

Oh, and here’s Ohio as well:
