There are no influenza deaths anymore, they all count as Covid-19 [insert latest scary variant here].

People die from influenza too.

Yep.

Was flipping though some old stories the other day and found one from 2017 about a mother in her 40s who died from flu. She was, by all accounts in excellent health prior, and was in training for another marathon.

Caught the flu and died four days later.

The story's heart was to see your doctor quickly so you can get early treatment.

Something they do not do for any respiratory infections any more.

Curious.
