There could have been two IL illnesses, one the usual seasonal flu, and the other "COVID". The PCR tests were neither specific enough, nor uniformly performed (cycles, etc. varied). They tested the PCR tests against various inanimate objects and got "positive" results, so why wouldn't influenza also test as "COVID" positive using these unreliable procedures?

They simply replaced the flu with COVID
