These Karens are the ones attributing the light flu season to their mask mandate. So, if the populace is complying well enough to produce such a light flu season, then it also stands to reason that such stellar use of masks should be tamping down the transmission of the Chinese virus, as well. First of all, I think they are full of sh!t on their assessment of a light flu season because I am thoroughly convinced there are a whole helluva lot of flu cases out there that are simply being chalked up to the Chinese virus. Second, if people are doing such a great job of wearing masks such that flu transmissions are really way, way down, then the Karens need to quit their f*****g bitching ... BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WEARING THEIR F*****G MASKS ... right?! And no matter if the Chinese Woo-Hoo Flu might be more easily transmitted than the regular flu, this stellar compliance with wearing of masks should be producing much better results for the Chinese virus, as well. They can't crow about widespread mask usage for purposes of low flu transmission, and then in the same breath, demonize the population's reticence for wearing masks as a major cause for spikes in the Chinese virus.

Re: “if the populace wearing masks the way you want them to is the reason why we are supposedly experiencing a light flu season, then the results should be the same for the Chinese Woo-Hoo Flu, too. ”
I think you've forgotten that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is far more easily transmitted than recent influenzas. In fact, much of the drop in Covid's official mortality rate has been because the virus spreads so incredibly fast that far more people have it than first thought possible - which means that its death rate is also far lower than first believed. SARS-CoV-2 is very different from the flu - which is generally regarded as not easily transmitted.

A second point is that we're having a light flu season compared to normal. I don't think anyone, under any circumstances, could possibly say we're having a light Chinese Woo-Hoo Flu season "compared to normal." There is no normal for it, so there's no way to call the epidemic "light." However, it may be lighter than it would have been without masks. That's impossible to know. The best we can do is to compare ourselves to Sweden - where masks haven't been mandated. Data out of Sweden originally indicated that masks don't help... but that's less clear now. Swedish cases are again spiking.
