Covid stuffed the flu in his locker and stole his lunch money.

Maybe the flu has always been covid19 and this was the government’s way of controlling the world.

So flu is down because people are wearing masks, washing their hands, and social-distancing. But COVID is rampant because people aren’t wearing masks, washing their hands, or social-distancing.

Got it.

I have a problem with the concept of masks being the "be-all-end-all" solution. But with that graphic you posted in particular, the problem I have with the "0%" is that the only way there is a true 0% is if both parties are not even by each other.

They keep screaming "TRUST THE SCIENCE" but the logic they go by is bunk.


There is very little in this world that is truly 100%. And for it to be truly 0%, they would have to be removed from one another at different areas of town.

This meme is 100% inaccurate. But it’s well made and pretty so people repost it and follow it like gospel

COVID is more contagious/transmissible than flu.

Social distancing is all that is needed. Tough to do all the time though. Up in your face loud mouths are the main culprits in spreading the Covid.

So then you agree with me that the graph is nonsense. And you agree that you can't say flu is down because of masks and then turn around and say COVID is rampant because people aren't wearing masks. You can't have it both ways.

Considering that there is no citation anywhere on it, it most certainly is.

By your theory if masks are beating the flu because people are wearing them, then why are they not working against covid?

You can't say masks are stopping the flu because people are wearing them and then say masks are not stopping covid because people are not wearing them.

I knew a bunch of people who had the flu last year and exactly 0 this year. There has to be a reason. And it’s not “they’re counting flu cases as covid”. Everyone I know who had covid(a lot) did not have flu symptoms.

I usually have had at least a cold which inevitably leads to a sinus infection by now and I ain’t had squat.

Not sure if it’s masking, distancing or hand cleaning or maybe a combo but not sure I can go back to the old ways now

Pick your fighter:

1) Covid is spreading because people won't wear masks or socially distance

2) The Flu is gone because people are wearing masks, and socially distancing
