Flu and covid are two different viral infections. testing does not overlap. A flu infection will not give a positive covid test or vice versa. While we have t seen much fly yet there may be a couple reasons. Those getting tests for covid who are negative may not pursue further testing to determine if they have flu. it is also early, there are many years where influenza season has not started until January or even February

Your statements - which I will stipulate is true - only support the Mr. Root's premise that concerns over Covid are overblown and/or figures are inflated.

The point is: The public perception is being manipulated to make Covid look like the worst scourge to strike Mankind since the Black Plague. Illnesses / deaths caused by the flu or other, similar infectious diseases are being attributed to Covid, through deliberately misleading reporting (by suppressing comorbidities; hyping Covid; downplaying everything else).

CDC admitted weeks ago that the common cold gives a positive reading on a covid test.

Yeah. Same here. We test for flu all the time in our patients, just not seeing it.

There have been people counted as having died of Covid when they never even got tested.

Die at age 22 in a motorcycle accident & COD is shown as COVID ?????

NEVER WAS TESTED. MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT...FATAL....

While I suspect valid COVID-19 cases do exist, there is more evidence of the entire affair being a fraud to destroy America from within, culturally and economically.

I have no doubt the masking and social distancing policies cause far more harm and economic waste than prevention of COVID cases.

I have no doubt the statistics provided are grossly skewed by over an order of magnitude throughout the healthcare industry claiming far more COVID cases than are justifiable.

I’ve seen too many well qualified medical doctors censored to believe the healthcare industry has any intention of actually providing healthcare and professional service.

Re: comments on disincentives to be labeled fraudulent for any medical professional who signs off on COVID caused illness or death,... I place that in the same category as election vote counters not being fraudulent, because they are too honorable to risk being found out to be frauds. In both situations, I believe there is massive fraud, and for multiple reasons.

In a nutshell, we tend to place too much faith in public news reporting, when it becomes our only grasp of the world around us.

The worldly system has placed too many incompetent people in positions of worldly authority, undermining the professions, and promoting anything anti-Christian, in order to remain stable or retain public trust.
