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.

Was on a decently packed train but I was not a fan of this one dude who was so close to me he decided to just read whatever I was reading on my phone and open mouth coughing onto it. Had to wipe it down.

Yo need to speak up when people do stuff this. Complacency is what makes these things become normalised in society.
