However much some try to deny the effectiveness of masks in HELPING to limit the spread of the virus , the fact is the anti-maskers and those that refuse to practice social distancing are the very reason the pandemic is still as bad as it is. It amazes me how some people can ignore the WHO and the vast majority of doctors everywhere to listen to the conspiracy theorists and the very small minority that pooh pooh the recommendations of the world wide medical community. Flu is way down simply because the measures taken by the majority to try to limit COVID also are effective against the flu. Less exposure, less infection. Look at New Zealand and to a lesser extent , Australia and other nations who took the pandemic seriously and did what's necessary to limit it as much as possible. Then look at what's happening in areas of the US and Canada where the strongest refusal to follow recommendations because of their inane sense of " freedom". It would be nice if they'd learn what real freedom is . It is not the freedom to possibly infect others because you don't want to be inconvenienced for your own good and that of others .
