That’s a totally different question, and I agree it’s pretty fucked up we see no flu.
I would guess that many flu strains come from areas in the world where travel is currently restricted so it harder for newer flu strains to transmit.
Also considering proper virus hygiene protocols are the best way to minimize cold and flu transmission, I think Covid fears have forced many (most?) people to adhere to hygiene practices which retard flu spread spectacularly.
On the flip side, and to agree with some of your statements, 10-15% of the human population carry dormant strains of coronaviruses in their sinus. By minimizing new flu strains transmission, the common cold is running rampant and being mistaken for flus, and Covid-19. If PCR tests are detecting ALL coronaviruses and not only Covid-19, we would see roughly 10-15% infection rates across the nation... which is pretty much what we are seeing.
