Flu shot was a total non event this year. 0 side effects and hardly even hurt.

I had no side effects from either. I didn't have them together though. Definitely worth it either way, everyone seems to be sick lately.

Everyone is sick lol I read that ABC article about the flu, covid, and RSV, and everyone seems to have at least one.

They also highlighted that with no mandatory reporting of covid cases, it's difficult to determine just how prevalent it is in the community. Though, anecdotally, everyone seems to be catching it.

The entire world just accepting "if we just never test we'll have no cases" as a reasonable idea never ceases to upset me

We could have solved this entire problem and then we just didn't

Don't forget the chickens as well.

I'm trying to not catch anything from work before I get some time in the next coming week or 2. I need to stay healthy until then.

Must be anti social!
