This seems to refer to influenza, not sars-covid-2. How do we know this is also true for sars-covid-2?
Not sure why my comment is being downvoted. I'm just asking a question. With regards to your comments. I'm not saying they would or would not be effective against sars-cov-2. I'm just noting a specific omission of sars-cov-2 in the cdc article. And to be honest, I'm asking so that when my TDS friends/relatives ask, I have an informed answer.
great thanks for the info!
