He's right tho. The sooner you work on yourself and stop being a narcissist, you'll open your eyes to the truth. For now, your someone living in a labeled Box with a prefabricated view on things.

If you are unable to understand that covid and influenza have the same transmission mechanism (with a lower contagion factor for influenza) and that, as luck would have it, the only year in your country they decided to impose the mask, influenza transmission has dropped. If you are unable to correlate that, I think there are not many people on earth who can help you.

It really doesn't lol

I'm pretty confident that these are just your own insecurities being projected onto any "other" you can possibly find.

It's quite sad that most people can't make that simple connection. The observed rates of influenza via hospital testing has plummeted. It might as well not exist this year.

The difference is that Influenza is real and didn't win an election.

The mechanism to determine that influenza is real is the exact same mechanism they used to determine Covid is real.

You don't get to say one is real and the other isn't when they are tested for by the same method and the same labs that test for influenza.

One magically happened during the election year. Same with BLM. Coincidence? I think not.

As much as i hate Trump as a president. He did what he had to do to open people eyes. I hope there will be more Jokers over the years and less batman.

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 was wearing masks when sick before wearing a mask was cool

It's a 50/50 chance that any event happens on an election year.

And a 25% chance that it falls on a presidential election year
