Society distanced from one another, wore masks, and washed their hands vastly more frequently than they did before 2020 and vastly more frequently than they are today. Whether you believe that was good policy or not is irrelevant; that it occurred is objective fact.
Where you lost me is your premise that one's personal belief as to the efficacy of socially distancing, masking, and washing hands like someone with obsessive compulsive disorder to "slow the spread" of COVID is irrelevant to whether those precautions objectively achieved their intended goal of "slowing the spread"--especially insofar as you are presupposing that those same measures would be more effective at preventing the flu than they would against COVID.

That’s not what I said. I said one’s belief in whether it was good policy is irrelevant. If you want to argue that those things don’t reduce virus transmission, I’ll simply write you off as silly. If your position is that Covid isn’t more virulent than the flu, then that’s fine, but it was literally the square 1 assumption in my post.
