Flu cases have fallen dramatically amid COVID-19

Yeah, who'd a thunk it? Wearing masks, social distancing, & washing your hands helps prevent more than just Covid. I'm sure the anti-maskers will just claim it's "a coincidence."

1. Here is the stunning reality -- flip this and it tells you how bad COVID could be.

As hard as we are trying, COVID is clearly proving to be far more infectious and deadly than the flu. As in 10 to 100 times more infectious.

If we had no masks, or social distancing, COVID cases would *easily* be one order of magnitude greater, possibly two. In other words, every single person in the USA would be infected. Hospitals would be telling people to stay home and die. Death rates per infection would also be dramatically higher due to lack of ICUs.

Flattening the curve has worked to a large degree. Everyone who has SD'd and mask'd has helped prevent a disaster of unimaginable scale.

2. I haven't gotten sick at all this winter - not a single cold!

I got my second vaccine next week.
