Yep, they don't test for the flu unless your symptoms are severe enough to need some sort of treatment or hospitalization. It is normally diagnosed by symptoms, and they send you home on a rest and fluids regimen. It's not tracked like covid has been.
This new form of "test everyone, often" for covid has never been done before, and the statistics from it are being judged on the basis of more traditional testing strategies. That is the biggest reason people are freaking out about the numbers.
The PCR is being used as a diagnostic tool, but it was not designed for that, as the presence of viral RNA is not necessarily indicative of an active infection. All things considered, I wouldn't be surprised if most deaths that were deemed to be caused by covid were actually flu with covid being a secondary infection.
But no one in the media seems to be asking about the comorbidity issues, or faulty testing methodolgies, false positivity rates, etc. So we are left with either simply, and docilely, accepting the narrative that is being spun, rejecting the narrative entirely, or trying to piece together what is really happening on our own because journalists are failing to do their jobs quite spectacularly.
