What happened to the common cold and flu?

I suspect in the USA, they all got classified as Covid. Add a big financial incentive to find covid, add a big political incentive to find covid, and add a PRC test that with enough cycles will find covid, and suddenly - everything becomes covid.

Not just the USA. Check out how the UK counts CoupFlu deaths...

Scroll down for info in the death toll.

The UK counts anyone who croak within 28 days of a positive death as croaking from the coof.

Any death where CoupFlu was mentioned anywhere on a death certificate as a CoupFlu death.

And any excess death, deaths over the expected, as a CoupFlu death.

The stats are crap. And not just ours.

But then CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health anywhere on the bloody planet.

I asked my doctor to give me a flu test early this year. He said no labs will test for flu. Only for COVID.
