How can the flu be completely gone with masks and distancing? Why spend billions on annual flu shots? Why never ever once suggest we try wearing masks for a winter to eliminate the flu? Why is Covid spreading despite mask usage if it stopped the flu dead in its tracks? Wouldn't that mean that both Covid and the flu are still making it through the mask or do the masks stop droplets? It can't be both preventing transmission and somehow letting it spread at the same time.
