Still posting nonsense. So sad that a simple flu bug will absolutely not test positive on a covid antigen test. Ignorance to post such garbage here. You are being lied to by some source. And that same source is certainly lying to you about many other topics.

Google search suggestion... Does influenza produce a positive Covid test ... HERE

Are you up to date on the influenza data?

Now google search suggestion ... Does the common cold produce a positive Covid test.... HERE

See how easy that is to debunk what you wrote and disprove those bald faced lies.

I'm prepared now. No more colds(aka COVID) for me.

Can you tell us how many people died from the flu or cold that year, NO!, They were counted as dying from COVID...

Could this be the reason why....

Surgeons do not wear "face diapers". I never said anything like that because it's a stupid statement. If that was your take-away, please re-read the post.

The primary purpose surgeons wear PPE to reduce the likelihood of getting biological contamination from the patient.

Masks are used to prevent transfer of airborne biological pathogens. That would be n95 or better. They wear face shields to prevent liquid splatters to their face where their mucous membranes are located, again to try to prevent contamination from blood and other infectious tissue.
They also wear gloves to prevent direct contact with infectious material and blood.

There are other higher levels of PPE worn when the risks demand better protection. Think of a patient with ebola, or who has an unknown toxic exposure. Also for researchers working on gain of function experiments with deadly toxic substances.

But you said mask do not work, so how do they stop pathogens that are smaller than SAR's and as you can see from your photo it really is not fitted correctly.

The flu numbers have been published and are non-zero.

What does that indicate? Also, are your friends who are I’ll in need of hospitalization? In other words, is it severe?

Did you read the post you responded to? It said nothing about "pathogens that are smaller than SARs"...

Most everyone in the US and especially Florida wants to put COVID "in the rearview mirror". And for some insane and low-cognitive reason, some people want to PRETEND that it never happened (pretending that all those deaths in the Midwest never happened). But, COVID disease itself has other ideas - it wants to mutate and spread.
........This summer in Fl. and elsewhere in the US, it is HOT and humid, especially in the large cities. If you take a general HEAT stress and you add in COVID, then you have a LETHAL cocktail of health problems.

Are you using personal experience on this mask. As a procedure mask, it’s tied correctly, over nose, with no gap, and under chin, goggles are fitted over the mask, other than the blood on the outside, one can’t see the snot from the sneeze inside the mask. It much more entertaining when you sneeze wearing a clear mask:girlneener:

Wore same mask for 45 years, he is better than some I have seen

According to the CDC, there were only 5K Flu Deaths in the 2020-2021 Flu Season.

That's less than 1/5 of a light year (25K deaths) and about 1/10 of a regular year (50K deaths)

I always hated it when that happened!

I don't see the humor in the fact that COVID is still with us and is KILLING some Americans. And since The Villages is made up of OLDER citizens who are demographically the ones most affected, then it becomes even less humorous.

Me too, snot is so much worse than a blood soaked mask and gown.
