From my perspective working in a hospital, influenza infections basically went away once all the social distancing/mask/etc. went into place while COVID infections continued showing up at a regular pace. We are testing for both in almost every patient that presents to the ER with symptoms.
What I get from that is influenza is less virulent and less contagious than COVID.

I'm not particularly worried about COVID for me, but am for my parents. My habits haven't changed much since all this started, but I was already pretty antisocial. I can tell you though from our hospital having two COVID units and plans to open a third, it is real.

Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.
