I didn't say it was impossible to get covid and the flu at the same time, it's that it hardly happens. Same thing with getting a head cold, you're not gonna catch the flu when you already have a head cold or vice versa. There's literally no reason to concern yourself with getting the flu and covid at the same.************, the question being asked was "can you get two diseases at once", which they answered with multiple examples. You aren't disproving shit
I forgot that only school children attending classes could spread influenza
Can I get Covid-19 and the flu at the same time? What about Covid and R.S.V.?
It’s possible to get sick with multiple infections at once, but the likelihood is fairly low.www.nytimes.com
Influenza in Sweden – Season 2020–2021
This report describes the monitoring systems for influenza in use during the winter season of 2020–2021 and the results of both epidemiological and virological surveillance. Data are also compared to previous influenza seasons.www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se
Except that there's evidence that danger and severity of symptoms is higher for those with both.

Easy: it didn't.
That's a specific interaction between rhinoviruses and influenza dumbass, that doesn't make it automatically true for coronaviruses and influenza. They're different things, which is why they have different names
Except that there's evidence that danger and severity of symptoms is higher for those with both.
Influenza co-infection associated with severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients - PubMed
Our study highlights the importance of screening for co-infecting viruses in COVID-19 patients, that could be the leading cause of disease severity and death. Given the high prevalence of Influenza co-infection in our study, increased coverage of flu vaccination is encouraged to mitigate the...

Easy: it didn't.
The fact that the flu vanished means nothing to you?
I think this can be attributed to the fact that the flu does not kill people/kids at the same levels as Covid-19
Well, I'm not going to say that he's wrong about M&M and child labour
Sure, let me just look up "a study in 2015". Oh, wait.
You are equally manipulating the word "deadly" to rationalize your own beliefs. Covid-19 is not special. Covid-19 is not special. Again, Covid-19 is not special. Covid-19 is new, and the virus your body hasn't experienced before is more dangerous than the virus your body has experienced a dozen times. There is no reason to believe that long-term, covid-19 is deadlier than the other coronavirus that already infected humans, and you would be terribly foolish to call those deadlier than the flu.
Novel viruses and novel strains evolve quite frequently. Almost none of them result in global pandemics.

Sure, and the Black Death wasn't a big deal because centuries later hardly anyone died of bubonic plague.
I think it was meant as "haha AOC brain damaged" than anything more in depth
You are not wrong, but also every endemic virus was at some point a global pandemic.
The black death was a big deal, and so is covid-19, but both those things are contextual. As time passes, covid-19 is going to continue to exist and cease to shape people's lives. I don't think you dispute that.Sure, and the Black Death wasn't a big deal because centuries later hardly anyone died of bubonic plague.
Yes, but surely the most relevant context for the deadliness of covid is the here and now that we have to deal with, not a hypothetical situation numerous decades or centuries hence. For the rest of our lifetimes, covid-19 is almost certain to be in the same ballpark as influenza in terms of hospitalisations and deaths, and consequently a significant burden on healthcare systems.
Obviously neither of us knows the future, but I would bet against this. I think there are parts of the world that have already comfortably reached the endemic stage, and as soon as we stop obsessively measuring the virus, we'll stop noticing it. People will just say "oh, I feel sick" like they used to, and move on with their lives, without caring whether its coronavirus or rhinovirus or enterovirus or whatever. I think the entire world will reach that point within a decade of the virus' existence. Certainly, that's an educated guess at best, but we'll see.
Is that how you see influenza? Worth ignoring, barely noticed?
Influenza is special. Influenza is orders of magnitude more significant than covid.
