In Mexico, the girl was in serious condition in a hospital in Torreon in the neighboring state of Coahuila, the health ministry said in a statement Friday. It said she had initially been treated with an anti-flu medication.

Few people mean this literally. We all know covid is still around and will be quite possibly forever. What it means, depending on context is “during covid lockdowns” or “during covid restrictions” or really just 2020.

I just got it last week again, thanks to the vaccine it was just like the first time, 1 shitty day, 1 horrible day and then it was gone
Covid isn’t really flu (or more specific in_flu_enza) his new buddy, but more like flu’s new competitor. Agree with you on all the rest, get your vaccines people.
