Can someone who believes masks and distancing don't help for coronavirus explain why ordinary seasonal flu numbers basically dropped to zero this year? What's the theory to explain both beliefs?

They work for both. Alas, the amount of intervention required to get SARS2's reproduction number below 1, to where the number of cases exponentially decays, is significant.

CHT point is *exactly* correct. A 50% reduction in transmission of influenza when run thru a basic SEIR model will predict 99% less flu. (Rt < 1- no exponential growth) The same 50% reduction in C19 slows the spread out over several months but still grows exponentially.
