The flu is not gone in those places, it's simply being misdiagnosed as COVID, probably on purpose much of the time. COVID-19 and the flu both exist and are not even remotely the same. The only thing they share in common is that they are both viruses, just like a penguin and a blue whale are both animals.

The fact that you keep spouting the same stupidity using different words makes you either an idiot, a troll, or a shill. Which one you are makes no difference because the negative effect on this community is the same.
