We killed off one strain of flu by our less-than-perfect quarantining for COVID.
We did? Do you have more information on that?

That article is interesting and important but it does not show any causal links between lockdowns and the disappearance.
It is, for example, also possible that it was merely displaced by SARS-CoV2.

I appreciate your close and literal reading of that study. This was new news to me so I looked a bit further. STATnews and others seem to think it was the various lockdown protocols.

How would it be displaced by SARS-CoV2? Wouldn’t that require cross immunity?
