Like who and by what authority did someone tell doctors to diagnose flu as COVID ? Sounds far fetched. But I am sure some were accidentally misdiagnosed.

Unless it is tested it would be difficult to tell Covid from the flu.

The CDC, government everybody. In the beginning, it actually made sense, sense covid tests weren't widely available, and between the two, covid was the more dangerous disease, and a lot of the treatments available at the time for covid could also be used for the flu, especially since most cases were treated by sending people home for a week with a healthy supply of NyQuil. better to treat them all like covid. I would have made the same call. But it didn't end there

So it wasn't really a mass conspiracy there, at least not in the start, it was just logical, though they continued even after tests did become available, and worse.

We literally had a guy, who showed zero symptoms, everyone thought he was healthy as a horse, rolled his motorcycle on the interstate and died. And for some they decided to test him, his test came back as positive for covid, so the hospital ruled his death COVID related.

Hit our local news, come to find out the reason they did was because the federal government was shelling out $30,000 per COVID death, and the hospital was in dire need of money due to the shutdowns. This story is repeated across the country among most of not all hospitals, especially the smaller ones. The government was literally bribing hospitals to cook the numbers just to stay afloat

Before the Covid vaccine was available the CDC said that the flu vaccine was 50% effective for Covid. After the Covid vaccine was available you saw nothing on the internet regarding that. In fact the CDC posted that the flu shot would not help with Covid at all. They just wanted people to get the vaccine.

Well studies have shown the flu was almost non existent last year because of masks

I don't know what studies you are referring to, but I have come to the opposite opinion.

Hi,

I do think illness was diagnosed as Covid-19 first rather than anything else like flu because that is what emergency medicine does,- treat for the worst possible condition first, then sort it out later. ex: If a person has an emergency with stomach ulcer and is rushed to a hospital they will first get immediate treatment for heart attack as the symptoms are much alike and the risk of treating for ulcer when it is  heart instead is a far greater risk for the patient than the other way round.

Did the higher bonus compensation to  hospitals for treating COVID affect diagnosis? Well perhaps at the accounting  and coding for billing level it has.

The overall record keeping and statistics are  little more than projections anyway. It will be more than two years as it always has been before  more thorough calculation  can be gathered and completed.

Regardless, I do think each individual might be just a little more tolerant of  those that reach  conclusions differ from our own.  It does seem to me that whether it is a flu or a COVID diagnosis  there has  been  and is still a  rush on emergency care and full hospitalization that is severely taxing our medical professionals.

We might be in prayer for them, and understanding as so many are opting out of their career at medical care, all together. For they are so fatigued caring for us all.

First lol is everyone "oversight". No I know what it is. 

Yeah if it helps makes one feel save waring a mask praise God. I have and would only if made to. Its one thing to read and hear all kinds of stories but its what's happening in your little world. My wife has so many stories. So many that got the shot yet got covid many times after. Not every time was less after the shot some were far worse after. Some after shot lost tasted .. I still never heard they got their taste back. There are other stories. Wife got the shot me never have. I never got the flu shot. So what has always happened is not based on me but faith in Him in His word and He has always kept His word.  This has always been so easy for me to believe.

Now that ringing in my ear since I caused it by using worm drive saw and other big equipment. As a great woman of God once told me. Its easy to pray for others (amen) but can be a nightmare praying for your self. This is one of those.
