The silver lining is that those measures will help prevent many flu deaths as well. We might have a very low death toll from flu next season. Or if people give up on social distancing, good hygiene and masks, flu and covid19 might combine to make an even deadlier combination. Infected by both might push many more over the edge.

Hopefully many more people will opt for the flu shot this year, and hopefully it's an effective one (chose the right strains) this year.

People like to have holiday in the summer, yet it makes more sense to put the 2 month school holiday during flu season...

Had to have a Flu shot for work... The other issue there is if I was to theoretically contract COVID-19, I won't get hit with the Flu at the same time increasing the health risks and implications.

Plus it can assist in eliminating the Flu-like symptoms for being the actual Flu.

I highly advise everyone to get a Flu vaccine where possible.
