I think "Pneumonia, Influenza or COVID" is their new "Infulenza-Like Illness" (ILI) classification.

Basically if someone has flu-like symptoms but they haven't specifically tested positive for COVID of Influenza they are considered to have "flu-like symptoms".

I'm honestly kind of shocked that they're rolling COVID in with all ILI. It will make it very easy to compare total flu deaths to past years with COVID's impact accounted for.
