MY GOD, I WAS SUCH A FOOL!
Or...
I think the point of that is they were using a test all along that couldn't tell covid from the regular flu, so they just counted all positive results as ''covid''. Thus grossly inflating the figures.
They same way they, you know, counted anyone having covid when they died as a covid death - whether that's what they actually died of or not.
But as Fouci told us, he IS science, and since he approved it the above is all science as well.
