What's really interesting is that it seems to have been very virulent in the winter of 2018, then in decline already before disappearing after 2020. I don't doubt Covid precautions killed it, but it may have already been in a vulnerable state.
So, all the precautions to prevent the spread of infectious viruses actually work.
So if we all locked down once a year, then not only would the entire human race be healthier, but animals & habitats would have a vacation from us too.
when people start realizing the actual costs of covid and long covid and that we can kill covid like this, we could do it. Not this decade. But it's technically possible

But one type, called influenza B Yamagata, may have completely disappeared.
Before 2020, it peaked each flu season. However, no confirmed cases have been reported worldwide in the last five years.
With fewer opportunities to spread from person to person, B Yamagata couldn’t sustain transmission and eventually died out.
This could allow room for other strains to be included in seasonal flu vaccines, improving overall vaccine effectiveness.
Do you think that it's an effect of the lockdowns? Would seem the most logical explanation.
So if we all locked down once a year, then not only would the entire human race be healthier, but animals & habitats would have a vacation from us too.
ergo
Capitalism breeds *Viruses
& Working is a pestilence. 🙃
