    "Among other measures" maybe like the many other measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission that Australia has embraced 🤔🤔🤔https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1358918741451489283 …

    Dr Fauci just told Fox News that Australia had almost no flu season and that proves the efficacy of masks among other measures. Australians have barely worn masks and even then only recently. Nothing like New York.

        Basic maths isnt it? Reduce R0 and basically everywhere has no flu.

        I realise US has a lot of trouble with mask compliance but shouldn’t have focused on masks as the reason for our low flu no’s. As I think it was from the “other measures” & Australians general compliance with those other measures, esp. given it was late July b4 we wore masks.

        Just another example how disinformation is used to disconnect people from the reality.

        Interesting how it these people that claim that Australia (and New Zealand) didn't do NPIs seem to universally be... not in Australia or New Zealand.

        Replying to @GidMK

        Omg he’s exaggerating a bit to gain better mask compliance. & possibly help encourage the idea of masks in future flu seasons. Why make a big deal out of it? We know flu rates decreased for lots of reasons but it’s still true masks are one of the reasons.
