It is strange to see that there is no real impact from the flu under the current conditions. It is an easy leap of the imagination to reason that masks and distancing are the likely difference makers.
Or that "Covid" = seasonal flu, and they are inflating numbers for political gain. But let's go with, some shitty cloth you keep grabbing with your hands and reusing is protecting us from seasonal flu...

If the question was “do NPI work as well for Covid as they do for the FLU” sure
But again, if you want to know if they work you’d have to compare the measures recommended by the CDC to people not taking those measures. Not to how those measures effect other diseases.
There is a very possible explanation that These methods don’t work as well for the Covid as the do for the flu, but are they better than nothing?

Certainly a placebo-controlled trial is ideal, but not always possible.
Ioannides made an attempt at this looking at varying degrees of NPI stringency and efficacy. When he found no differences, he was pilloried from academics and the Twitterverse alike. People were so wedded to the ideology of NPI that they lost their damn minds.

He must have stock in that Chinese mask factory.

I have pondered this as well. There's at least one study involving school children in a school setting where it shows mask wearing made virtually no difference. This study compared school's with stringent mask wearing policies vs schools with very loose policy.
I would add that Covid 19 has caused a greater emphasis on proper cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection practices which has in return helped in decreasing the cases of flu and covid 19 cases more so than mask wearing.
