Important thread.
So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic...
1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

Besides communicating the importance of vaccination, where available, the government should be explicit about not mixing with others when ill, using effective face-coverings in an appropriate manner, and making use of ventilation, to avoid spreading airborne viruses.

In reality, wearing a mask is a brave as well as a compassionate act, in a culture in which ignorant bullies have stigmatised masking as a sign of vulnerability, & coerced others into complicity with their systematic cruelty towards outsiders & vulnerable people.
Recent discourse has really cemented for me that many objections to mask wearing are rooted in an insecure kind of masculinity. Wearers seen as 'weak' or 'scared'. This idea is as absurd as calling a soldier weak or scared because he or she chooses to wear a Kevlar vest.

With influenza surging in the UK and Ireland, the fact is that the culture war nonsense surrounding masks combined with the lack of airborne mitigations in hospitals (itself a result of the political and social erasure of Covid) will lead to deaths that could have been avoided.

I'm seeing a number of commentators aggrieved about flu reporting in the press, saying the wave is just early, not particularly big, so why is the NHS panicking?
Here's the problem.

If you are wondering
how it could be
that the surge of hospitalizations
(due to flu in England)
is leading the NHS to warn
of the “worst-case scenario”
this winter, just remember:
that far too many people
cannot imagine a worse scenario
than being asked
to wear a mask again.
