So far, the seasonal flu has all but disappeared this year.

As of December 19, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has tested 516,977 people for the influenza virus. Only 855, or 0.2%, have come back positive.

The 855 confirmed cases of the flu is cumulative from September 27, 2020 which marks the beginning of this year’s flu season. Data is reported by the U.S. Influenza Surveillance Tracker provided by the CDC.

A federal appeals court has ruled against Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 10- and 25-person capacity limit for houses of worship. The severity of the restrictions had depended upon whether the church is located in a “red” or “orange” zone respectively and paid no regard to the building capacity of the church.

The three-judge panel for the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on December 28 that Gov. Cuomo’s order “discriminates against religion on its face.”

Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio took aim at Doctor Anthony Fauci on Sunday morning after the Christmas Eve revelation that Fauci has “slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts” when talking about the percent of Americans that must become immune to COVID-19 in order to gain herd immunity.

Dr. Fauci has done this in part based on his own “gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”
