Since the covid virus is actually a corona virus, just like the common cold, no one gets the flu anymore, they get covid becasue they take the test and it shows they have a corona virus.
When you look at the statistics, during the pandemic, they showed almost no one getting the flu for those years. Now, instead of people just buying one flue vaccine every year, they get at least two, since they also get one for covid, at least the people who diligently get vaccinated every year.

The genetic testing information that CDC released to the diagnostics companies covered both flu and corona viruses. Whether this was deliberate or not, I do not know, but CDC "discovered" this "error" near the end of the pandemic and made it known. It received almost no coverage in the media. It was one of the things that inflated the Covid numbers in the U.S. and perhaps elsewhere. Individual doctors believed wrongly that the masks, gloves, distancing, etc. were responsible for the flu decline, but even they could not understand why the flu was not transmitted while the corona virus still was. If BOTH Covid AND flu were tested for, it would likely show both but it would be assumed that the patient had both viruses since they were unaware that influenza was showing up in both tests.

Thank you, but you don’t have to fix anything for me.



Viruses are so so so small, a mask will not stop a virus from entering through a cloth mask. Cloth maskes help against respiratory sprays; people sneezing or coughing in your direction. A surgical mask is a much better choice , if you choose to wear a mask. A cloth mask is good if you have allergies or are in a polluted area, or if you have a severe breathing problems. But you must also cover the nose, not just the mouth. Germs can also enter through the eyes, so there’s that too.

The fact that flu is not inhibited by masks and hand sanitizers was shown to be ineffective during the influenza epidemic that occurred under the Obama Administration. That information was released by CDC to medical professionals abut not to the general public, so the doctors, nurses, and laboratory people should have known this...if they bother to read the CDC notices, which many do not.
