Due not doubt in part to coronavirus mitigation measures seasonal flu which was serious enough last year to at least significantly contribute to the deaths of 900 people has had infection rates drop 99% from 600 per day April 2019 to 6 per day
Feb 2020 244 daily cases ( considered to be another bad year)
March 2020 181 daily cases
April 2020 6 daily cases ( Amazing)
I hope some of the new public hygiene procedures are maintained after the current crisis is stopped - as even mild flu is not pleasant and has also negative productivity effects

So it seems that if we keep our social distance, and wash our hands thoroughly for the rest of our lives we may not get flu.
Makes sense, but i can't see it happening.
