There are other factors involved here. Like lockdowns. I don't know about you, but I haven't had any virus in over a year. Flu deaths are way down, and others from other aspects of lockdowns.
Is that what you mean?
And why are flu deaths down, while COVID is up? Could it be that some deaths that are attributed to COVID are actually from the flu? Or could it be that masks, while they have some effect on flu, have no effect on COVID? We know flu is not airborne, but only transmitted via droplets, so masks can indeed do something about it. But COVID can, as far as we know, be airborne, so that masks that are commonly worn have no effect on it. It is probably a combination of those two things, right?
