Washing hands and using sanitizers is not an effective way to not get the flu. Such action may kill a virus, but it also kills your immune system. So when the flu is around, being spread through the air, which is the primary method of transmission, you are more likely to get sick, because your immune system has turned to shit from all your "sanitization."

"Being sanitary" (to the extreme people take it) is part of the scam.

"Being home" may stop the spread, but it also reduces your going out time, which means less sun, which means less vitamin D, which means more likely to get sick.

One more part of the scam.

Wearing masks does absolutely nothing to stop the spread of an aerosolized virus (the primary method of transmission for both a coronavirus, and its relative, the flu). It does however, harbor bacteria. It is a fantastic place for bacteria to grow and thrive, including the bacteria that causes pneumonia.

Literally everything we did "to stop the spread" increased the spread.

Everything.
