If We all Wore Masks, Would Spreading the Flu Come to an End?

   If we really wanted to stop the spread of the flu, I wonder if we all wore the little face filters (what is the word for them? Surgical masks?) if that would do the trick.
   Now, I mean everyone wear them. So much of the spread of the flu is airborne. If our coughs didn't get past the surgical masks, the germs wouldn't be airborne. And, if we were wearing the masks, we wouldn't be taking in the germs in the air, anyway.
   So, if all American changed its lifestyle -- if everyone wore masks throughout the flu season, would we conquer the flu? Would we bring an end to the spread of the common flu?
