You know they do covid tests if they think your flu is covid.
I think you are mixing up half-facts. People were saying that deaths with co-factors were being lumped as covid related deaths and different countries were classifying things differently for political reasons. No one is mislabeling the flu as covid and not giving you a covid test to detect the strain.
- fridif 6y ago"No one is mislabeing the flu as covid". There have been 33 million positive coronavirus cases and 444 million tests-- are you sure you want to assert the following is true 100% of the time: 1) all covid diagnoses are ONLY covid 2) all flu occurrences are diagnosed, and when they are diagnosed, they are always ONLY diagnosed as flu
- ipaddr 6y agoA covid tests doesn't test if you have something else. A covid test would not detect the flu or a broken leg and label it as covid. Depending in the type of test 1/3 could be false positive. If your theory was false positives are because of flu I'm not sure there is any proof to that theory but I would like to hear more. All flu occurrences were not diagnosed before, this year or will be in our future lifetimes. Your doctor telling you its the flu and to get rest vs getting a positive for a influena A or B test and the percentage that a lab might make a mistake on those tests vs the % of time your doctor is wrong are two very different ways to think about your question. Usually the words 'AlWAYS' and 'ONLY' fail in a big population set.
