One mistake I think we're making is thinking that there's either a virus or it's all a hoax. Maybe there's a third option. Maybe something else can cause flu-like symptoms. Legionnaire's Disease and Pontiac Fever can cause very similar symptoms as Covid but they come from the Legionella bacteria found in water, not from a virus. Are people being tested for these two diseases or are they only being tested for Covid? If some people are getting weird symptoms that go beyond what the flu can do then maybe it's not a virus and the government is covering it up.
