      Seems a bit of a mystery to me that masks and social distancing completely eliminated normal seasonal flu deaths but not COVID-19. I see a few possible explanations.

      One explanation is that this novel coronavirus is much more catchable by its nature. Maybe. The other explanation is that normal seasonal flu deaths were never real. They are based on excess death estimates, I believe, not counting.

      That's not a "maybe" but a "almost certainly", as we're fairly certain that R0 is larger for COVID-19 than for influenza. (Screenshot from Wikipedia)pic.twitter.com/0etmpFLv88

      Does it pass your sniff test that masks stop one virus completely and we can't even detect the impact of masks/distancing on this coronavirus enough to convince skeptics they make any difference at all?

          Do we test as aggressively for flu? If someone clears their throat, they get a Covid test right now. I've got a family who've gone to the doctor sick dozens of times and have been tested for flu only once. Perhaps it's just a blind spot.

          Masks aren't the only variable affecting the different spread of influenza and corona. So masks can have a greater risk reduction on influenza than corona and still make a difference on the dynamics of both.

          I understand it's possible. It's just unlikely that auto deaths and seasonal flu deaths would be about the same number each year but most of us only know of auto deaths in our normal lives.

          The common cold is way down in many places this winter.

          Is "sniff test" a pun?
