The swab tests don't misdiagnose flu or common colds as COVID-19, just the nature of the test.
Your going to see a lot lower flu cases this year just due to the changes implemented in many areas, it's not being passed over here from international travel or Asia like it normally does.
And the few that do get here are not spreading as far or fast because of the masks and distancing.
You have to remember COVID-19 is much more transmissible than the average flu during flu season. Flu has an R0 of 1.3 (assuming no masking/distancing and normal travel) so it has little to no chance with these measures, especially the travel part.
