@madealiyah The reason that the flu spreads is because people who are showing symptoms of the flu aren’t careful and infect others. If everyone is careful about the flu, no one will die from it. COVID is different, since it much more often can infect others without symptoms. So the level of effort needed to be careful with COVID is much more chamor, hence the masks.
For the upteenth time at what point does “more” make a difference?
The point where it makes a difference, in this context, is where it lowers the infection rate to below one. The flu has an infection rate of about 1.4 mostly because people aren’t careful and do things like interact with others while they have a fever, or send their kids to school when they may not be feeling well and the flu is going around. Taking the same care with COVID as most people do with the flu will give COVID an infection rate of about 3. So again, there is a much higher level of effort needed to stop people from dying from COVID than to stop people from dying from the flu. And that includes wearing masks.
So if you care about people dying from the flu, don’t send your sick kids to their friends house. If you care about people dying from COVID, wear a mask. (This last sentence may not be applicable if most of your community is vaccinated). I do both.
Woe is to me, for I have been found guilty of being inconvenienced by wearing a face diaper, and losing a job!
I’m glad you finally admit it. Your convenience is more important than the lives and health of others.
You do not want to “demand that people should mask to protect others” from the flu,
I think we covered that. Wearing a mask is pointless if you’re doing the minimal needed to protect others from the flu.
