But it is super weird how they basically stopped counting the flu, and are saying flu cases are like 0.001% the number of normal yearly cases... they're clearly counting flu as covid.

Like you, I do believe there are two separate viruses active - too many practitioners (even the critics) have noticed new symptoms never before associated with influenza - but the panic over the new frankenvirus leads doctors to assume the new virus if there is any question. Given the overlap in symptoms, there is always a question, so doctors are covering their ass and calling everything covid.

Whatever you have (which isn't entirely clear based on the symptoms you mention, which are present in multiple conditions), I wish you a speedy recovery.

The fact that omicron is lower morbidity/mortality than the prior rounds of covid really is a huge piece of good news, given that it fits perfectly with what would be predicted by centuries of knowledge with respiratory illnesses. If the medical community had reacted - as they did in prior pandemics - with understanding of the inevitable endemic endpoint to this virus, the world would look very different today. They just can't let go of that control freak impulse, however, "We have to STOP it!!!" Human ignorance is the one bottomless resource in the universe.
