And another is that people get the flu with light Covid, are diagnosed with Covid instead of the flu.
All over the country, people who present to hospitals with a variety of acute respiratory complaints are tested with a respiratory viral panel of tests. This includes influenza A, B and CoV. The spread of flu has been beaten down this season.
Health care providers can and do treat early onset flu with drugs to shorten duration. The flu is simply not spreading this year. Influenza spread has been drastically reduced by the CoV mitigation. No conspiracy, just reality.
Yep.
