I know what you are thinking, but seasonal flu is OBVIOUSLY down because we are all practicing measures to reduce flu spread. To me, this is just more evidence that these measures work for seasonal flu, but COVID really doesnt gaf about them and will spread regardless.

Or what's more likely is they're competing viruses and you can't get both at the same time and Kung Flu wins the battle between the two.

I just have a hard time believing nasty humans around the world are collectively practicing hygiene so well they have destroyed the flu this year.
Whatever is the cause, I don't think the math on that particular hypothesis is gonna check out.

Interesting. Why did those measures not work before? Where is the cornucopia of studies showing that such measures prevented respiratory viruses before this year?

Lolzy.
If we could reduce flu by 95-98% by masks (hygiene has probably declined back to closer to pre-Covid levels), we make them required.
No one seriously thinks that social distancing and masks reduces illness by 95%. Maybe 50%? Not 95%.

So masks are responsible for a 98% decrease in the flue
Or maybe our reporting of COVID is bullshite. The flu didn't basically just go away completely because of masks and social distancing while COVID cases allegedly sky-rocket. That defies even the most basic logic. People washing their hands, wearing masks, and social distancing didn't wipe out the flu to a statistically irrelevant level. I'm sure that helps with a reduction in cases, but it wouldn't effectively purge the world of the flu
