In the UK they were carrying out over 1000 times the number of covid tests as flu tests. The false positives alone would have been more than the number of flu tests. Try looking at excess mortality compared to previous years for a more accurate picture. It was worse then preceding years, but less than 2003 and age adjusted less then 2008 in the UK.

Excess mortality would point to covid deaths as undercounted, not flu deaths. The best data I can find shows that covid was at least 10x worse than the worst flu season on record in the UK (2008).
