Story at-a-glance

The CDC reported that the percentage of respiratory specimens submitted for influenza testing that test positive decreased from greater than 20% to 2.3% since the start of the pandemic
As of September 18, 2020, they noted that positive influenza tests have "remained at historically low interseasonal levels (0.2% versus 1 to 2%)"
Similar drops have been observed worldwide, including in the Southern Hemisphere countries of Australia, Chile and Southern Africa, which often serve as sentinels for influenza activity in the U.S.
The “COVID” deaths the CDC has been reporting are actually a combination of pneumonia, flu and COVID-deaths, under a new category listed as "PIC" (pneumonia, Influenza, COVID)
It could appear that flu hasn’t just vanished into thin air but rather cases could be being mistaken for COVID-19
According to the CDC, flu cases began to decline in response to “widespread adoption of community mitigation measures to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2,” but why do such measures work to eradicate flu while COVID-19 continues to rise?
