Elsewhere someone was asking, "What happened to the big wave of Covid that was supposed to hit this winter?" I think the problem is that we've quit paying attention.

The schools I’ve been working with have been getting clapped with a sickness that has all the symptoms of covid, but people do not test positive. Perhaps covid isn’t running amok, just some nasty flu-variant

Back in the fall they were predicting a trifecta - a combination of Covid, flu, and RSV. People have been saying for years that "Covid is just like the flu", which it isn't, but there are similarities in the symptoms. Maybe this time it's the flu instead of Covid. Which reminds me, my wife and I were visiting the grandkids and got sick after we got back. We tested negative Tuesday morning and should probably test again. I don't think it's anything significant, just part of the childhood germ factory cycle.

Childhood germ factory combined with years of mask use, sanitization and remote learning limiting overall exposure to germs playing a role, possibly? Not saying remote should not have happened, just that this shit is a possible consequence.
Yep, test again and get well!

No news is talking about it, so where are we supposed to even pay attention to it?

Or that most of us are vaxed or have naturally immunity so cases are usually mild. It’s just not newsworthy at this point. Soon we’ll get an annual vaccine and just accept it’d here to stay
