Another weird trend I picked up reading France reports on the pandemic is that non-Covid nosocomial infections decreased significantly during the pandemic.[1] As if Covid took over antibiotic resistant bacteria (a little) and other infections (a lot).

Edit: I don't know why the downvotes (no problem with that), but in case someone thinks it is a conspiracy theory of some kind, Santé publique is an official agency tied to the french ministry of health. The conclusion is of course up to debate but you are unlikely to find better data.
