“…Yun et al reported 22% decline in IPD incidence in South Korea where severe lockdowns were not implemented but major outbreaks occurred in cities like Daegu and Seoul [14]. Recently, Gao et al reported from Taiwan that the adjusted pneumonia and influenza mortality rate in 2020 was significantly lower than that in 2019 [15]. Since nasopharyngeal colonization with pneumococci precedes IPD, the main limitation of this study was that the NP carriage status in children and adults was not determined during the pandemic.…”

This seems to have been a global phenomenon as not a single case of influenza was reported in England in 2021 and a lower case rate was also reported for the U.S. [15].…”

“…As discussed in [ 12 ], the experience with Ebola, Middle East respiratory syndrome and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) meant that several Asian and African nations, including Taiwan, had systems in place to mitigate the severity of the pandemic. Other authors reported that the adjusted pneumonia and influenza mortality rates in 2020 in Taiwan were significantly lower than the 2019 rate and a deviation from the overall increasing trend since 2008 [ 13 ]. These authors concluded that the low pneumonia and influenza mortality rates in 2020 suggested that mask wearing, physical distancing and restricting large social events may have had a positive spill over effect reducing total mortality.…”
