Not hard to figure out.

With mask mandates and social distancing all normal colds and flu are way way down. My former neighbour who's very susceptible to normal colds and flu and who used to get sick multiple times each winter has enjoyed his best winter ever (no sickness in 2020) and no doubt will enjoy winter 2021 because of the Covid protocols.

There are some silver linings behind this dark cloud.
