We believe that the differences in thinking and taking an action somehow summarizes humans. Since we are not used to wearing masks during the flu season and the public health figures in Turkey and in the USA, these are where the respondents are from, do not recommend population-wide mask usage during the flu seasons, participants are not really sure whether they should wear masks or not. Also the fact that they are trying to answer correctly, even though they do not really need to but humans seem to do that, the “maybe” answer is the most safe one among them. We strongly believe that pandemic has shifted our normal, and we are more concerned about our health than we were before. This is surely not a bad thing, thinking how in the 2020 flu season the flu rates have dropped due to high hygiene regulations.
To summarize, we could reach some understanding regarding the approach to the masks in relationship with the flu. And we thank you for your participation in our survey. We will be talking about the results when it is related to our upcoming blog posts. In the meantime you could check the flu with FluAI App, available in App Store and Play Store. FluAI App is always here for you and working for you.
