Original Note:
The tweet author confuses influenza positive cases with the broad category influenza like illness (ILI) that pre-2019 includes coronaviruses. Most ILI tests positive for no virus, and the massive testing done in 2020 labeled much death as Covid. The graph is testing artifact. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4703274/
