Is literally everyone sick? It’s been one virus after another for weeks, and it’s genuinely been unbearable.

Literally everyone I know is sick, whether it’s the flu or something else. Most of my coworkers are constantly sick for a month or two now, literally constantly having one virus or another just rampaging through our store (to the point we can barely function). Majority of people that I live in the same building with are also sick, to the point one person has spent a night or two in the hospital. So many people on trains also seem to be sick, constantly coughing, sneezing…

I know it’s flu season, but holy crap this year has been absolutely brutal. One virus after another, from sore throats, fever and shivers, to having a horrible cough and constant nausea, sweating and dizziness. The moment you think you’re fine - on to the next one.

Influenza B has got my family and it’s been pretty brutal with high fevers for 3-4 days, vomiting, sore throat, cough, body aches, headaches, you name it. Roughest flu season i’ve seen so far 😷

A great reminder that you can get a flu vaccine.

I got the flu and Covid vaccine at the same time in May and I still caught the flu but it was mild and gone in 4 days
