CNN: What are some preventive measures that people can take to reduce their risk of catching and transmitting infectious diseases?

Wen: It’s not easy to avoid infections during winter virus season, but people can take steps. Everyone should wash their hands regularly with soap and water, and, if soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer. People who are especially vulnerable to severe illness should consider limiting their interactions with others. They should consider wearing a high-quality mask in indoor, crowded settings, and they should ask family members and friends who have symptoms to stay away until symptoms resolve.

“They should consider wearing a high-quality mask in indoor, crowded settings”

Wasn’t Dr. Wen one of those coronavirus Nazis?

The VA does my health care, and during the last physical they never offered the flu shot. Typically they do.

Last year they said they no longer keep covid boosters in stock. They did offer the flu shot but could not tell me if it had the covid stuff in it. I declined.

I’ve had zero vaccinations since the covid scam started. I cannot afford to as the blood clots would plug up my stents and croak me off in seconds.

Just getting over influenza type a- wow! It was worse than covid! With covid, which I had 3 times, I took ivermectin every time and got over it pretty rapidly- but this flu, it just hangs on and on. Feels like death warmed over. Ivermect8n seems not to have helped much this time for whatever reason.

Honestly, what difference does it make?

Take care of yourself and treat it as we did in the days when not every illness was labeled and hyperventilated over.

The most important thing to do is watch out for signs of it taking a turn for the worse, or going into bacterial something.

I’ve been sneezing, sniffling and coughing for 15 years.

Allergies.

I wouldn’t know the difference if I caught a cold, flu or one of their engineered diseases unless it came with a high fever or sore throat.

“Sniffling, sneezing, coughing...”

STAY HOME!

Don’t go to Olive Garden with the entire extended family to G-Pa & G-Ma’s 50th wedding anniversary party and continue throughout the occasion to cough up a lung. You know the deep dry cough that sounds like an echo chamber.

Hey G-Pa & G-Ma happy, cough, cough 50th wedding anniversary cough, cough. I sure hope that at your age and frailty that you don’t get what I got.
