COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus and the flu is caused by an influenza virus. These are two similar but distinct types of viruses that can be easily differentiated in a lab. But new data from the CDC may point to the flu being misdiagnosed as COVID-19, resulting in higher coronavirus numbers but much lower flu numbers. In fact, there has been a 95% decrease in flu cases during current weeks 40-41.
This time last year, there were 1251 flu cases reported to the CDC during weeks 40-41. This is about average. But in 2020, we’re seeing a record low number of 61 total flu cases reported in the same time period. It doesn’t take a medical degree to come to the logical conclusion that the flu didn’t suddenly disappear but that it’s simply being misdiagnosed as COVID-19.
There are two most likely scenarios causing this. The first is nefarious; doctors and hospitals are misdiagnosing on purpose. Whether for political or financial reasons, medical professionals are reporting flu cases as COVID-19. The second and more likely scenario is that people who have been infected with COVID-19 and did not see symptoms were subsequently infected with the flu and then went to the doctor. They were tested and since they had both viruses in their system, they were reported as the higher-paying COVID-19 diagnosis....

In all fairness, it could be said at this juncture that flu season is simply off to a slow start.
Masks and hand cleaning, plus less interaction. No kids in school to share it.
The numbers are being manipulated.
That is not misdiagnosed
That is fraud...
And they’ve done it all year long...
everything is the chinese flu....everything...
Even motorcycle accidents!
It is ABSOLUTE fraud no question!!!
“Doctor, this man died of mutagenic explosive rectal warts!?”
“That darn Covid!”
Let me ask you this: If your hospital can get over $200,000 in support money if a patient dies from CV-19, or nothing if they die from the flu, how would you record the death.
1. Schools closed
2. Bars and restaurants closed
3. People working from home
Last: masks and hand sanitizers

“Even if you died of a clear alternate cause but you had covid at the same time, its still listed as a covid death”

what pays more?
COVID or the flu?
what grants time off with full pay?
COVID or the flu?
you tell me. You get more of what you pay for.....
“Fraud”
Victims of fraud are usually the gullible.
COVID might have been a real concern early on but it has turned into a totalitarian con to steal our rights, crush the middle class, and overthrow our Republic.
The way things are going a patient with an ingrown toenail would be diagnosed as having Covid-19
Covid cured the Flu!
Well to be fair people are washing hands, wearing masks, distancing and staying away from doctors. No surprise flu is down
Will anyone be surprised when in a year or two the DOJ is prosecuting Hospitals for fraud regarding Covid? Medicare fraud isn’t taken lightly by the Feds.
Sadly so.
