I have been unable to find #'s on the "flu" deaths this year. Are they being lumped into statistics for COVID-19?
If you check almost any news source, you will see that the reverse is true--many covid deaths have likely been unreported as covid because the patients/corpses were not tested. Also, you may note that we are now running at over 1,000 counted covid deaths/day--that's over 30K just in a month
