Masks actually hurt people? Why are cases of the normal (seasonal) flu was down this yr compared to previous one? Two big reasons: Social distancing and masks.

As COVID-19 raged last year, the seasonal flu all but vanished, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

During the 2019 flu season from Sept. 29 to Dec. 28, the CDC reported more than 65,000 cases of influenza nationwide. During the same period this flu season, the agency reported 1,016 cases.

Health experts said that high vaccination rates against the flu – combined with social distancing, mask-wearing and hand-washing employed to stop the spread of the coronavirus – played a huge role in preventing influenzatransmission.

I know our elections are determined by the EC, but you need to remember that Trump got 74M votes far fewer than Biden's 81 M. The election wasn't close at all.

He would have won in 2020 were it not for the election theft. There was no theft. There was an attempted coup. If Trump had been well educated enough to know about the Reichstag fire, he might have tried to burn down the Capitol and declare a national emergency like Hitler did. (see Reichstag Fire Decree)

In 1984, Reagan got 58.8% of the popular vote. His popular vote margin was 54.5 M vs only 37.6 M for Mondale. Wow!

Trump never got anywhere close to 50% of the vote.
