Where do you come up with this nonsense? What ACTUAL EVIDENCE do you have that masks and antisocial distancing have prevented covid or flu for that matter? You’re simply speculating, making it up as you go along. There’s a simple common sense possibility that many flu cases are actually diagnosed as covid. There is also viral competition wherein one virus can massively displace another much as the so-called variants are displacing original SARS-COV2 strains.
Don’t simply assume “oh it was masks and social distancing”, without and in spite of evidence. Tell me then why didn’t the masks reduce the covid spread almost to zero, as you claim it did with flu? I’ll be waiting for your reasoning!
What evidence do you have of your misdiagnosis theory? You’re just speculating.
