Masks for indoor work

Maybe flu has disappeared because most people are wearing masks and washing their hands

If hand-washing and wearing masks prevent flu transmitting to others, how is it that coronavirus case numbers are rising ?
Surely if those measures work for one type of respiratory infection, they would work for the other?

They don't do autopsies now just stick a swab up your nose and you died of Covid-19 even if you were shot by the police or had an incident with a bus driven by Mr Magoo!

Influenza is not a particularly easy disease to transmit compared to covid19 and the population has at least some community immunity to it.
Any comparison between the two is unhelpful.

Stop talking shite.
My mum died of cancer last June.
She also had covid19.
It says cancer on her death certificate because that's what killed her.
She wasn't counted as a Covid19 case.

Do you not have any capacity to self-audit what you type before you press submit. What you posted here is grossly simplistic, is full of assumptions, but worse it is badly worded and offensive. Please think before you press submit -
