I evaluate claims made by medical authorities by stacking them up against my experience.Flu is just a general term for various symptoms. What's your evidence that all flu cases are caused by a virus? Very few flu tests are done to determine if each flu patient has flu virus.
my point was that I have no trouble believing medical news that flu is down while covid is up because I have had the experience, in real life, not on the internet, of seeing that many people I know, including me and my family, have gotten covid (headache and loss of smell), but the flu has vanished.
normally this time of year we have a ton of flu cases. Within our family and in the many families with young children we know. But this year, none.
so that’s my evidence supporting the news cycle. I see covid spreading in my community, but zero flu, and this is noticeably different than previous years
