The "debunk" is that COVID-19 is a new strain - but I am over 50 years of age, new strains of the flu have been a constant re-occurrence all of my life and that did not require the "experts" to stop calling it the cold or flu.
Somehow the common cold/flu are the same because it is well known how the reported flu cases have been impacted by this "COVID pandemic" which seems to me a very important imdicator of what's really going on here:
Scientists at the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) now believe that this natural immune response to the cold may also provide significant protections from COVID-19. Thus, those with both pathogens present in their body may be uniquely fortified against a deadlier coronavirus.
Flu season typically peaks between December and February each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the flu causes up to 45 million illnesses, up to 810,000 hospitalizations and up to 61,000 deaths each year. But this flu season, there have been just 925 cases of the flu around the U.S so far.
I won't cite a laundry list here, but there are huge numbers of statistical/accounting tricks that cast doubt on major COVID-19 reporting, it's a well known meme and backed up with reports and expert accounts. 🤔
Only thing I can come up with is that it's the result of the declining ability of modern information consumers to be able to process and analyze information from various sources and time periods. Being able to recall and compare data points along with a certain amount of real life experience seems to be at odds with people who live in digital bubbles with an atrophied organic means of forming their own conclusions.
It's all prefab these days - simplicity is attractive and nothing is new about using convenience to trap most people.
Regarding statistical / accounting tricks with Covid, there's a peer reviewed study that found as much:
Based on data for all recorded U.S. deaths through Aug. 23, 2020, the new CDC system counted 161,392 that were attributed to the virus. Using the older system, the death total was only 9,684.

How do they even run these stories over the same winter, and people not realize they're just reporting flu cases as "Covid-19?"
