Well unfortunately it takes other people wearing masks to not transmit it, and those dum dums are too busy marveling over the technology that turns the mountains on a bottle of bud light blue.

I think you meant Coors Lite. See, I know my technology. Btw, I fully support the idea of symptomatic people masking to protect others.

The kicker with flu is that a person is usually infectious & transmitting before they have symptoms as well. So better to mask up generally right now.

The other wacky thing I’ve heard, is that there is some evidence suggesting that influenza might actually cause people to want to socialize in groups during the pre-symptomatic infectious phase, while they are actively breathing out little airborne viral particles. I’ll see if I can track down the study/ies on that.

But yeah, everybody would be safer if we all masked-up this flu season.
