Actually, we've simply stopped testing for the flu. That's it. All of these comments from so many highly intelligent people, and I don't see a single person hypothesizing this. My wife is a triage nurse for the largest provider of such services in the US. She's literally spoken to 10s of thousands of patients over the last year, and thousands of nurses, MDs, pharmacy techs, and lab technicians. The main takeaway that she's gotten from the largest testing labs over the last year (think labs in the largest population centers of the US), is that they were not even accepting samples for anything non-COVID related for 95% of the year. They simply stopped testing for the flu. She would routinely have a chat with a lab technician, after an MD would put through an order, with the tech saying "stop sending this stuff to us, we're only testing for COVID for the foreseeable future." This has not stopped.
