Or, you know, the cold virus. Because the flu (influenza) isn't the same as a cold (coronaviruses and rhinoviruses).

Yeah but the flu has mysteriously disappeared completely in 2020, so obviously people with the flu are being called covid cases.

People with a cold rarely go to the doctor.

No one is debating that. People with acute allergic rhinitis (hay fever) are nearly zero as well. Doesn't mean mold allergies are the same as colds and influenza. Coronaviruses ARE one of the two virus types that causes the common cold, however, so it is accurate to say people are freaking out because of a cold.
