I mean the first one is possible. I think it has been thought of though, we do random testing sometimes and at least some covid samples are also tested for flu.

I mean the first one is possible. I think it has been thought of though, we do random testing sometimes and at least some covid samples are also tested for flu. The second just seems wrong. Like it could have been true a year ago, but it really would be known by now and there really isn't any reason it would be inconvenient for any sort of narrative. Diseases that weaken your immune system enough for some other disease to be killing loads of people are still worrying and big deals. We would still be calling for lock downs regardless of if covid is directly or indirectly causing extra deaths
