Realistically if everyone (literally everyone) were given n95’s used them, and washed their hands any time they touch something someone else touched without touching their faces: we actually could beat things like COVID and the flu.
What makes it unrealistic is that people aren’t that far removed from monkeys, and behave like it.
Not even N95s. If people just did the bare minimum and wore a surgical mask and washed their hands frequently the instant they felt like they might be sick, we would work wonders to reduce spread, morbidity, and lost wages/productivity. We just need the same simple politeness around respiratory illnesses that already exists in some Asian nations.
I think that believing we could eliminate flu like viruses is extremely optimistic, but it’s not something I can really argue against because it’s just an opinion.
I mean, presumably you wear an N95 at all times and keep your hands meticulously clean, but when you get ill, it’s just some other idiots fault.
But if they were eliminated, flu’s are probably the most common things for keeping our immune system in practice. If we all had immune systems that are completely out of practice with dealing with viruses. What could go wrong?!
Ok and my implication was that even with compulsory N95s and diligent hand washing that it would still be optimistic.
Are you wearing an N95 at all times you’re in the vicinity of others and disinfecting your hands any time you’ve touched something that’s been near yours or someone else’s face? Because if not you’re nothing but a virtue signalling hypocrit.

Do those Asia nations not have COVID or flu’s?

Yes, the last line of my comment very clearly addressed why it’s unrealistic.
