I had a doctors appointment but now the doctor calls you and talks to you. While talking to him I ask if colds and the flu were any better this year because everyone was wearing masks. He said it was the same as any other year, colds, flu, virus, no change. If these masks and hand-sanitizer can't stop the common cold and flu, How's it suppose to Prevent the coronavirus?

I had doctor's appointments last year and they were all in person. I think your doctor just didn't want to see you. He probably wasn't even wearing pants at the time.

COVID-19 measures also suppress flu—for now By Kelly Servick Jan. 12, 2021 , 5:20 PM
Influenza forecasters are a cautious bunch. Flu cases can spike in late winter after months of low infection rates, making experts reluctant to predict a mild season too soon. But many are ready to declare that COVID-19 control measures have dramatically tamped down the flu and other respiratory viruses that would normally be ripping through the Northern Hemisphere.
The World Health Organization (WHO), based on global surveillance data collected through late last month, says flu activity in the Northern Hemisphere is at “interseasonal levels,” meaning it’s as low as in an ordinary summer. In the United States, the percentage of outpatient visits for influenzalike illness is at 1.6%, well below the 2.6% baseline used to define a seasonal epidemic. U.S. clinical labs have collected 925 positive samples since the end of September 2020, versus 63,975 at this point in the 2019–20 flu season.
“I’d be very surprised if we have a typical flu season now,” says John McCauley, a virologist who directs the Worldwide Influenza Centre at the Francis Crick Institute in London. “To see nothing so far, it’s difficult to see how it’s going to come up in large numbers in January.”

I go to two different medical centers. Sun valley on the south and Norton's on the north. Both were the same. Drive in, park and call, they will call you back when they are ready for you. Sun valley had the doctor call me this time, that was the appointment. I guess because my medical issues are minor compared to some.

When you go to your doctor, do you act like you do here?
