Yes - no doubt this can happen.
But, following this same reasoning, why do the experts say that COVID19 is "different" than the flu (not similar enough to confuse the two - so as to be certain that it is "not the flu") yet diagnose it based on flu symptoms???
Is that not essentially what they are saying and doing?
I am not understanding the question. Isn't one of the tests a nasal swab that gets sent to the lab for a diagnosis? They don't tell you that you have COVID because you have flu like symptoms. They suspect an infection and test you for an infection based on flu like symptoms they don't diagnose you based on flu like symptoms.
I must be misunderstanding your question.
