100 of thousands of flu tests in the last few months doesn’t equate to the 10s of millions of cases normally seen in a year. We’re past the worst part of flu season btw.
I’m married to a medical professional. Her hospital system absolutely quit testing for the flu. That’s not where the money was or is. And they were absolutely mis labeling patients and deaths as Covid that were not. I cannot help but think that was certainly a nationwide and likely global trend. That’s anecdotal, but either she and our friends and relatives in medicine were lying about it, or we magically cured the flu in a year by not trying to cure the flu.
Covid is real and many people have died from it. I know of more than a few that had a rough go with it. None that have died thankfully. But this thing has absolutely been used and abused for the purposes of everything from political narratives and outcomes to enriching medical systems and beyond.
