Will a flu test pick up covid?
Last March I had shortness of breath, fatigue, and loss of smell, so went to the medic and had a test for flu & strep, and both were negative.
How does one perform an influenza test? Are the results obtained quickly/locally?
Doctors are the ones keeping this pandemic fraud going. Being naturally fearful, they’re assisting in the steady march to communism.
Since flu is also a air-borne respiratory virus, masks would have no effect on it, either. So, that can’t be “IT”.
But, you may have nailed it with the “flu vaccine might have done the job”, sorta. Please forgive any misquote.
Historically, flu vaccines are ~50% effective. Not that they don’t defeat the virus. If the vaccine matches the public virus variant then there is a preventative effect.
Rather, it is that flu vaccines at best can target only 6 variants/season. Every season there are numerous variants running about across the world. But, the producers have to pick 6. If they pick the wrong ones, we get a bad season. It’s a crap shoot.
What is more believable is that all flu cases are being systmatically misdiagnosed as Wuhan — by orders of the CDC. By CDC guidelines, you are diagnosed (without testing) as having Covid if you present flu-like symptoms.
I do not believe the doc claiming that he’s testing for flu and not seeing it. Too many “doctors” have sold out or taken the knee to beleive this without widespread corroboration.
What company is processing your tests? Or who makes your test kits? Could it be that there is collusion suppressing results?
Much of America has been successfully terrorized and mentally abused to where they will speak words of maturity but act like a dumb and innocent teenager ... THAT'S how you get pregnant ?
Honest Question: What company is processing tests? Or who makes test kits? Could it be that there is collusion suppressing results?
Yes it’s an oral or nasal swab and it is an Elisa tear specifically for influenza I think flu is an oral swab.
I had an uncle get the flu and covid at the same time. Tested positive for both. So, there is one for you.
Interesting. Thank you for your “on the ground reporting.”
Most likely the immunochemistry everyone has had running through them. Everyone has been exposed to one degree or another. Never saw a true case of flu a and b coinfect. In fact, everyone knows that can’t happen. This was the replacement for last years flu. Or.. our flu season will be late.. not likely.
That’s a great point.....how many more have had the (regular) flu vax, this year, compared to years past?
Thank you for your professional opinion/report.
And, I notice that....as a busy, practicing physician you don’t have the time to post half hourly/hourly/daily on a chat forum....especially on China Flu threads :-)
I’m sure your patients appreciate that, very much!
Defies even reasonable intelligence that masks eliminate flu, but not COVID.
That’s because Covid has been relabeled as the FLU!!!
What happened to “flu season?” In the age of COVID, “the flu” has been reclassified as coronavirus, says epidemiologist

And I’m calling BS that you are a Doctor!?!?!??
“Also we were all wearing masks, distancing and washing our hands BEFORE traditional flu season started and that may have kept it from getting a foothold like in a normal yea”
STUPID Liberal Logic:
The Flu is non-existent this year because we are masking and social distancing, but Covid is still spreading because we are masking and social distancing
YOU ARE A LIAR!!!
Oh yes you have definitely proven your case.
You country has been stolen from you because you refuse to think. Instead, you will twist yourself into logical knots like a dying snake, trying desperately to convince yourself that Florida, which is not locked down, has ERADICATED the flu, along with every country in the world. Even places like sweden which never locked down.
Unfortunately, not 1 person in 1000 of you has the ability to hold a thought or pususe a logical line of inquiry: none of the facts or logic I stated above is a secret. It is just that for every one of me there is 999 of you. You can remember anything, you dont know anything, you cannot make a logical deduction to save your life but, Thank Oprah! your opinion is yours by damn and there fore just as equally factual and important as any other. There is just no way to decide which answer is right.
PS At least you have lots of friends to help you feel like you are not the only stupid one.
Yes he or she is a liar. In fact there are more than one on here pretending to be doctor, scientists and “medical people”. You see them on most every covid thread carrying on with sciency sounding confirmation of the Jao Bai Den narratives. Some are just lonely bullshitters looking for attention and feeling smart thinking that they sound smart. Others deliberately tell lies and shade truth. Like this one.
Finally. I was wondering if FR had any actual medical folks. So far all I have seen are LARP-ers who think they are funny, and folks who work for Chyna and Jao Bai Den.
You live in world of make-believe.
