Since winter just started, it's interesting that people are sick from the flu so quickly. How do people tell the difference between covid and the flu?

About a half year ago, it would take more time for people with COVID-19 to recover from the illness. However, I hear that now there is little difference between the flu and COVID-19. Even if people get sick with COVID-19, they might not notice that unless they take the PCR test.
I was wondering if I could leave earlier. Today my last meeting will finish at 2:00 pm, then I'd like to leave the office.

Are you able to attend your 2 pm meeting? You could brief me on the agenda and I will gladly fill in for you.
