    I've had many a flu and cold over my 6 decades of life between catching stuff at the office or what the kids brought home from school most recently. I've doubted the covid tests all along. Symptoms have been reliable indicators for everything I've ever had whether cold, flu, food poisoning, appendicitis, poison oak, etc.

    I looked for a comparison of symptoms
    The chart is pretty good, but remember that it is very rare in medicine to have "never" or "always". The general rule of thumb is that influenza is the EXTREMELY rapid onset of symptoms, usually with severe muscle aches and possibly high fevers (can happen without fever at all). It is typically severe upper respiratory (cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, etc.) but tips offs are that the flu typically doesn't cause runny nose or diarrhea (although as with everything in medicine, it can for some people).

    There is also a well tested, highly effective medication for the flu known as Xofluza. It had the standard 7-10 year trials and has been on the market for about three years without many reported side effects. If you think that you have influenza, you might want to look into this medication, but it typically only works in the first 1 to 2 days.

          It's a legitimate question. My wife got it and tested positive. I've been sick and it says negative. Why would that be?

          Anyone got anything to support the claim that testing cannot distinguish guise between covid and the flu?

          It has been my understanding all along that the various "Covid tests" - besides being rather inaccurate - can only tell you if you've been exposed to ANY of the various Corona viruses that have been around since forever. the tests can't just single out C19. Can anyone here confirm this?
          I wouldn't think any Influenza virus would affect the Covid tests since they are not looking for that - just Corona viruses - but what do I know? I'm just a guy taking all this in and trying to make sense of it as best I can like everybody else.

              Agreed. I think its commonly accepted that the rapid tests cannot distinguish between any variant of Covid, and, now that you mention it, any corona virus.


              Thats a different claim, though, than the thread title, which asserts that testing cannot distinguish between corona and influenza.

              I would like to see some support for the claim.


              Im sure that makes me a closet democrat to many of the mental powerhouses here, though.

                From things I have read, this was my understanding also.

                  I donated blood 3x while the blood bank (Redcross here in San Diego) was still giving you a covid test result along with the usual cholesterol result after each donation. And then just like that - no more donor covid test result. Why was that ?

                          PCR is not for testing this ghost virus. Inventor speaks.

                          Dr. Kary Mullis inventor of the pcr test used for covid 19 detection speaks on its misinterpretation and elements of the scientific establishment.


                          virus never isolated

                          The proof from many doctors around the world that the virus was never isolated. If there is NO VIRUS, then WHAT justifies the lockdowns over the past 18 months and the mandated vaccine passports?
