I'm very curious if all this social distancing, hand washing and mask wearing on a global scale will have an effect on the next flu season. Could this be the first year with very little flu going around?

that is already happening, there's been a sharp drop in flu cases in hongkong this season.

Wish it was acceptable for me stow away like this every flu season
At least wearing masks over flu season might get normalised by this?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does.
