Is Bonus S good for keeping weeds out of your lawn? Of course it is, it does a good job.
Doesn't mean you will have zero weeds though.

Well people are wearing masks, washing hands and not being around anybody when they have any sort of minor sympton instead of going to work and spreading everything like we normally do

Curious how clear your memory is, but last year, pre covid, did yall have a lot of negative tests with symptoms of covid?
Yes we did. Last season was an average to slow flu season. Which gave way to Covid.

Of course not.
There just hasn't been a single case of the cold or flu this Winter.Totally normal.

Something about masks causing flu to disappear
Then something about not wearing masks is why Covid is spreading
It makes sense if you compare how contagious each virus is to the other. As many argue on this board, the efficacy of masks against COVID isn't 100%, likely not even close. The flu, on the other hand, may be consistently blocked by masks.
Either way, you hit the nail on the head; Flu is down because of precautions we're taking to mitigate the more aggressive COVID.

the difference would be fricking marginal at best

Nope. We’re constantly being berated for not wearing masks, gathering in groups, etc. we’re told cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all out of control because people are being irresponsible. So which is it? Are we doing enough or not?

You have that down pat. What would the death tolls be like if governors did not prohibit the use of hydroxychloroquine?

have we also talked about the likely 20-30k increase in overdoses and suicides? hope that was worth it to save Great NamMaw Bertie

They were talking to doctors who said they are basically seeing zero cases of flu and common cold. Something is not right about all of this.
Some common colds are corona viruses
So I wonder if some of the tests coming up positive are just a common cold
Posted on 1/2/21 at 8:11 pm to SelaTiger
Ironically, I did not get sick one time in 2020. And I’m usually good for at least 1-2 cough and colds per year. Who knows. Maybe it’s all the precautions we have taken.

Unknown. Might have helped some. Never saw an actual real study on the use. Talking to medical professionals it seemed to help some.

I believe it is specific to some protien, or something, that is unique to the covid 19

Science!

Almost like social distancing and wearing a mask could be keeping those other two less contagious viruses in check.
But our governor says covid is spreading because we are not wear masks or social distancing. So which one is it?
