It certainly seems that there is enough evidence at this point to suggest influenza has been re-designated as COVID-19.
Anyway, the authorities will tell us that this unprecedented drop in influenza cases is because we are social distancing and wearing masks. In that same breath, the authorities will also tell us that COVID is on the rise because we are NOT social distancing and NOT wearing masks.
I smell BULLSHIT!
Therefore, never doubt the power of your nose.
