Losing smell or taste for months after getting sick with something is not the flu.

Yeah it is. I had a flu when I was a kid that made toothpaste taste like pickles to me. Made me almost barf every time I brushed my teeth for quite some time after I was better. Then one day, gone.

People saying they feel like their lungs are full of concrete for months after getting sick is not the flu.

That’s a symptom of having been on a vent.

Also, vents aren’t an appropriate treatment for pneumonia induced low blood ox. See: pre 2020.

Many people who have gotten it even without these symptoms report it as being an extremely worse flu.

And many reported it as a mild cold. Just like every flu season.

And flu cases are reported as COVID to push the narrative (assuming of course anybody even knows the difference since the tests certainly don't). That doesn't mean that they're the same thing.

Since the covid numbers don’t exceed the flu numbers, it actually does mean they’re the same thing.

Don’t worry though. China is still culpable for all the fear propaganda they produced in early 2020.
