Interestingly they've been still doing regular flu tests in hospitals.

The flu has a much lower spread rate than Covid and is transmitted the same way.

Turns out when you take precautions against Covid, to nobody's surprise, you also reduce the flu spread by the same factor. Cutting Covid's wild spread rate in half keeps it above 1, which means it continues to propagate, but the flu has a typical spread rate of between 1 and 2, so when you cut that in half it basically stops existing.

Honestly we should probably just keep masks as a normal part of our society from now on. They're super low cost relative to the benefit, the benefit being stopping basically all respiratory illnesses including future pandemics before they even get started.

I don’t need your respect. You’re a worthless sad piece of trash, that has a dysfunctional view of society. You come up here with your cowardly melee mouth responses
