What I find interesting is how the seasonal flu disappeared. Yet that Covid thing keeps on going even though everyone is wearing masks. It makes one wonder, does this CV go right past those puny masks? nah.... that can't be. Everybody knows... |
There is a vaccine for the flu. When you take into account the impact of the vaccine it has an R around 1.3. It doesn't take much social distancing or masking to drop it below an R1 which stops spread in it's tracks.
Covid if far more infectious and there has been no vaccine. Distancing and masking does not necessarily get the R below 1. It continues to spread.
