Mini Survey: Flu-like Symptoms in December 2023

A short social media survey by Diny Fielder-van Kleeff and Rachael Marshall, Directors of Control Group Cooperative Ltd.

The following online poll was suggested to Control Group by a participant, who had noticed that many people were suffering from a ‘flu-like’ illness over the Christmas period. They wondered if the Covid injected and the un-injected were suffering the same rates of these symptoms.

We did not ask if this was Covid, or if anyone tested for Covid or Influenza, but simply about the generally well-recognised symptoms of a ‘flu’.

We did not specify what those symptoms were.

All figures rounded to 0 decimal places.

The following question was asked on several social media platforms, with a set of possible responses, of which participants could select just one option.

Question

We have heard that many people have been ill with a variety of ‘flu-like’ symptoms recently, so we would like to ask you for a ‘snapshot’ of illness in December.
