Flu may be lower due to masks, or maybe because anything that can be reported as Covid is, or it may just be a lower than average flu season. There is no way to know.
But since it is likely that influenza viruses behave similar to coronaviruses as far as masks go, then the person wearing one is doing more to protect others than himself. So good luck wearing a mask from November through April, enjoy yourself.

Not trying to be argumentive. But, Australia reported that their flu season was MUCH less. They stated that it was due to mask-wearing due to CV. Australia's Flu season was in our summer, so they were in a good position to have early research.
