We actually test for covid, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV.
Had several people tested for covid recently that had influenza A and not covid.
One wanted to argue about it. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people out there that WANT to be a victim, and covid stories are probably cooler than "I had the flu" stories at victim book club meetings.....
Flu doesn’t get you 10-14 days off work, sometimes with pay. I know a guy that’s “had to” quarantine 6 times in the last 20 months. Based on his word only that he was exposed to someone with Covid. Obviously the employer is a state entity. No private company could afford to be that gullible.
