We apparently wiped out a strain of flu while mandatory masking for COVID was in effect.

I don't get the "oh it's just a cold" argument.

My neighbors don't want my cold either. I'll keep masking, thanks.

I can’t imagine sharing someone else’s air now. 😳😷

Before COVID lockdown, there was some kind of crud going around for the last couple of winters before. It eventually settled in your upper chest and left you with a hacking cough for a month or more. I did not get that crud during COVID lockdown and I did not miss getting it one bit.

I’ve had the cold this past week - First one had for 4 years … wiped me out !! Really bad one. Wasn’t Covid as I tested ( I’m on the list of CEV who get govt test kits and also have to contact them for Covid antibodies if I get it ) still struggling a bit , and talking like Barry White.

This is cool and a good thing but can I also say this is really funny? just completely wiping out a strain of flu as a byproduct

I don't get that argument either. I have things to do and don't want getting sick to stop me.
