My next door neighbor’s 27yr old son came down with symptoms, tested positive for Kovid, and was told he had BOTH the flu and Kovid at the same time. You should have seen the eye rolls when they told me. What does Worldometers classify him?
Now the interesting thing is the son’s stepfather, my neighbor, is a retired career Army physician currently working for the largest hospital system in our near five million metropolitan area.
The mother is also a retired career Army surgical nurse that retired from a local civilian hospital who homeschools the son’s 10r old daughter at home since the schools were shut down during Kovid.
I have never seen them wear or take off a mask all this time or “social distance”. They don’t even have or use a UV light box!! The nurse absolutely will not take the vaccine. He had to due to hospital requirements.
It’s curious, I can only conclude that an AF “flight surgeon” is smarter than both an Army doctor and nurse. :)
A memento for you on this special day!
I suspect your neighbor’s story accounts for the fact that we have supposedly magically had almost no cases of the flu in this country this year. It is quite possible to have both the flu and the cold (Covid) at the same time, since they are two different viruses.
In most cases, they never tested or recorded statistics for the presence of the flu virus, and were only interested in the cold virus (Covid). The symptoms are the same, and the opportunistic infections (pneumonia) are the same. Probably a great many people had both and actually died of the effects of the flu but simply weren’t tested or recorded...this is the only thing that could explain the magical disappearance of the flu this year.
