"I notice my local left-wing news is reporting “Coronavirus case increases” does this mean they can legally include common Flu or cold cases, since they are all Coronaviruses?"

They are not all coronaviruses. About 12-20% of common colds are caused by a coronavirus. Most are caused by a rhinovirus. Influenza isn't even remotely related to coronaviruses.
