In March 2020, most of the world implemented non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) including the use of face masks, social distancing, school closures, and teleworking to prevent the spread of Covid-19. We don’t yet know exactly how well these interventions worked to slow the Covid-19 pandemic. But we do know now that they have helped to slow the spread of influenza.
Ideally, the effectiveness of an intervention (e.g. wearing a face mask), is measured by looking at the outcomes one is trying to affect (e.g. the number of cases of Covid-19). With seasonal diseases like flu, the ability to compare the current year to previous years makes this easy. But with Covid-19, we have no history for comparison. It’s also difficult to assess the effectiveness of interventions on Covid-19 by other means due to variable test availability, lack of study design, and changing criteria to receive a test. So some deniers have argued that NPIs have had little epidemiological impact.

Face masks forever!
Wu-hoo!

The MSM and Dr Fauxi are already panicking, but I think it’ll be the lightest flu season in years thanks to all the germ paranoia.
This is typical nonsense... the flu was “stopped” when juridictions all began calling all flu cases “presumpive Covid-19”. Then the tests that oversample until any exposure that leaves even a trace of viral DNA comes back positive started becoming the norm. These tests come back positive even if the amount is far less than what would be neccessary for anyone to exhibit any symptoms or be contageous to anyone. But someone who has the flu can also test positive for Covid-19 and they will not be tested for the flu if they tested positve for Covid.
Distancing works. Especially Big Time distancing. Six ft. ain’t squat.
Of course with proper distancing, a mask is superfluous.
Not really
They aren’t testing for flu
Lots ov CoVid out there though ask anyone
Looking for a reason for yearly lock downs.
They will not relinquish power voluntarily.
They MUST be removed!
Amen
