Most of the school closures I documented in my article happened in late January 2020 (causing schools to close in the first few days of February). Well, this is only about 45 days from the lockdowns (mid-March).

So one can re-state what happened (according to the "authorized narrative"): There was a terrible and wide-spread epidemic of flu in late January (affecting numerous states). However, by mid March, this flu epidemic had disappeared ... BUT right on its heels was a new epidemic - this one Covid. So we had successive respiratory virus epidemics.

Alas, the Covid epidemic of late March early April actually didn't produce many people with ILI symptoms (fever, terrible cough, sore throat, acute shortness of breath, fatigue, loss of smell and taste, etc). Tens of millions of people actually experienced those symptoms a couple of weeks or months earlier, but doctors' offices weren't being flooded with people with these same symptoms in April.

I think I'm the only journalist who is making a big deal out of "symptoms" - and prevalence (or lack of prevalence) of same.

I also note that someone can have confirmed influenza and Covid at the same time. I've never seen a study that looked into the percentage of people who might have had both viruses at the same time, but my research and doctors' testimony confirms this did happen in some people. For a while, I would rule out anyone who tested "positive" for influenza as being a possible early Covid case - but I probably shouldn't make this assumption.
