    Both individual influenza viruses and individual coronaviruses are smaller than the pores in a mask. Why can't you read?

    Please actually try reading your own link. Why is that too much to ask for? Don't play make-believe that you care what the NIH says while ranting against what they actually say.

    Yes, but they form particles. Influenza particle is much bigger.

    Apart from droplets that these viruses collect in, including aerosols, what kind of particles are you talking about? And where do you get your information about the droplets that influenza collects in being smaller than those that coronaviruses collect in? Where do you come up with this bull ****?

    Scientists are using centrifuge sediment to estimate size of particle.

    Please at least pretend you are interested in answering the question. Your made-up **** doesn't interest me. Facts do.

    I am not sure what question you are talking about.
    The point is that correlation between wearing masks and incidence of flue is close to 100%.
    The correlation between SARs-v2 and mask wearing is close to 0%.
    Masks are useless against COVID-19

    Yet you can't provide any evidence of these claims or, more importantly, even explain what physical cause would lead to this. Your claim is completely incomprehensible, indefensible, and you are unwilling to actually provide any rational defense for it. You keep appealing to scientific claims that are completely nonsensical and you refuse to answer even the most basic questions.

    The size of C19 and influenza viruses are practically the same as given in your link - 80-120nm. You've just copied and pasted words that you do not comprehend. What is the sedimentation constant for the influenza virus?

    And I'm looking at Japan - they are at position of 142 in cases per million

    Influenza is not as contagious at C19 and the lockdown, social distance and masks had a great effect on reducing flu cases

    Why don't you read whole article. Viruses form particles. The size of the particle is determined by sediment in centrifuge.
    You people associate science with propaganda.

    Actually the effect was exactly zero.
    Otherwise we would hear about that wonderful correlation from the scientists (real scientists).

    Lol. I read the article, the article you clearly could not comprehend. What is the sedimentation constant for the Covid19 virus? Both types of viruses are of the same size.

    You seem to struggle to keep to the same story. You wrote "Mask protect from bacteria and influenza, that is exactly why this year number of influenza cases have dropped significantly"

    Obviously your nonsense random numbers don't help my case. Clearly you have no comprehension of the copy & paste you did.

    I never thought I'd find myself even generally agreeing with yardmeat, yet here we are...

    Masks are useless against both. Both of those viruses are too small and mask pores are far too large. Masks are not worn 24/7/365. Masks that are commonly being worn around do not form a perfect seal around the face. Masks are commonly touched and fiddled around with.

    ... and I suppose that street lights have also had a great effect on eliminating elephant infestations in cities?

    Definitely. And you were even asking similar questions that I was going to ask kreo, especially about whatever mysterious and unspecified "particles" he keeps talking about. I likewise have absolutely no clue what he's talking about regarding those "particles"...

    Viruses aggregates in particles.
    For Flu virus those particles are larger then for coronavirus.
