I'm using VS 2019 Community, if that matters. Seems like this happened in professional as well. I have a for loop with around a hundred lines. I collapse it then attempt to highlight all of the lines, but as soon as I drag below that single line, vs expands the collapsed line and forces me to drag the entire amount of lines. Which sux way too much. This didn't used to happen. Something has changed and maybe it was 2019, who knows. Anyway I can't find anything on google to allow me to turn it off. I can't even find anything that appears to be my situation.
/rant off
In this particular case, I want to comment out the for loop for a minute to debug something else. Double clicking the line will highlight the line but not the collapsed portion. I swear this wasn't this way until recently.
Any thoughts on how to 'fix' this or on what to search for? auto expand, mouse drag, highlight are all words I've looked for.
Basically if it is collapsed, I want it to stay that way until I don't.
I did find that
SHIFT-ALT-+ will expand the highlight to include everything in the {}
SHIFT-ALT-] will highlight the entire for loop
and SHIFT-DOWN will highlight and expand the collapsed section.
Moral of the story(?): Quit using the mouse to highlight. Not a bad idea to quit using the mouse in general.

I wonder how many normal flu cases coincided with Covid

We'll probably also have the unintended consequence of weaker immune systems.

My guess is they're either not looking or they're also calling instances of the flu Covid.

I don't know about the UK, but in the US, the CDC put out new "guidance" last may witch caused covid to placed in section one of the death reports and all the other conditions in section two. Basically, if you had covid (or were suspected of having covid...no testing was required), your death was marked down as covid.
Up until last year, your cause of death was determined, not automatically designated as dying from the mal du jour.

Yes, that even included if you were in an accident and you were decapitated, your cause of death would be marked as "COVID" if any evidence of covid. Kinda stoopink.

More precisely: You go to your doctor, you get labeled positive. Then on your way back home you die in a car accident. Then someone updates the stats based on something like:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Patients WHERE Covid = 1 AND CurrentState = 'Dead'
It's not incorrect. But it's including things that shouldn't be there.

I've seen this rumor / claim several times since last summer, but never with a reference to the source so that I could see for myself the actual wording in this directive.
It really makes no sense at all. First, lots of death causes couldn't possibly be covered up the way you describe. Second, it would not benefit anyone (in spite of what conspiracy believers claim). Third, claims like "suspected of having covid...no testing was required") is the kind of wording that is typical for urban myths, not for directives from the CDC. Fourth, if doctors all over the USA were ordered to lie, filing a drowning, a car accident crushing several people to death, or a killing by hand weapons as covid deaths, just because the victims were 'suspected' of having covid, would cause an uproar among the doctors. Maybe a few of them would do as told, but not the great majority. Certainly not all. I haven't heard any uproar from American doctors. Not even mild protests.
If this really is true, it cannot be kept as a secret, it must be published and available to every doctor certified to sign a death certificate. These doctors cannot trust what is said by some journalist or reader posting to the comment section of a web paper, but must have the original directive. So it should be easy to dig up. Until that happens, I consider this "guidance" to lie somewhere between an urban myth and a conspiracy theory.

If they are sticking to the 'rules' here in the UK, then only deaths within 28 days of testing positive are counted as Covid.

This exactly. Null only exists in software, and even there it can be assigned to an object.

I would love to get the flu every year if it meant I could socialize without distancing, and not wearing a mask for the rest of my life.

I think we'll see a lot of people who will wear a mask all the time, pandemic or not.

I am the complete opposite, when this thing is beaten back and I 'have' to go to work (commuting!!), I will find it a bind, I mean wearing trousers & I have only been on a train three times this year!

not surprising, flu was MIA 6 months ago in the south. Even in normal circumstances it only has an R around 1. The same masks and distancing that pushed covid-19 from 3 to 1ish would have only 1 in 3 people with the flu infecting anyone else. That's enough to crush it short term; but even if we could drive human cases all the way to zero it'd spring back from animal reservoirs once things return to normalish.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

FTFY.
That's because the actual cases of the flu have been filed under Covid, as "mild" or "asymptomatic". Who's gonna check?

There also hasn't been a case of death from old age in the past year.

[pardon the mixed genres below]
My Spidey-sense is tingling. I have this feeling of utter dread regarding the coming work day. Worse, my email Inbox has not been the usual pool of bubbling, malodorous ichor, foul with the stench of utter evil.
Even my dog is feeling it. He's doing a "Timmy fell down the well, but I just can't be arsed to remember where" thing.
This has the feeling of one of those "everything's broken and we're all gonna die" sorts of days, that ends with my drowning my sorrows in strong drink...
