The worst I had was in ‘77.
I was sick for 3 weeks.
I am still here.
Covid was nothing compared to ‘77

We’ve got a dinner party at friend’s house and are leaving in 10 minutes. Should we cancel and hunker down? This is some scary stuff!

Seems the data does not support the narrative. This years flu season to tracking to be considerably milder then last years.

Flu season in the United States typically begins in the fall and lasts through the spring, with activity peaking between December and February

The CDC estimates that there have been at least 5.3 million illnesses, 63,000 hospitalizations, and 2,700 deaths from flu so far this season. Last year there were 470,000 hospitalizations and 28,000 deaths last year from the flu.

Maybe you should wear a mask when you visit. Gotta be safe.

I went to the Farmers Market this morning, met a friend for lunch and then went by a couple of local shops. I saw one mask the whole time, worn by a customer at the book store where I stopped in.

I had H1N1 (swine flu) in 2009. I survived.

For the past couple of days I’ve been bravely fighting a winter cold.

I deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom for this. And I’m being serious. Biden has awarded the medal for far less.

We live in a time when diseases are a new thing. Never before experienced by mankind. What we need is more, ever more oppressive government, to save us.

Covid, RSV, influenza and norovirus were all here last year too.
Nothing has changed.
Greedy Pharmaceutical companies just trying to scare people because no one trusts them anymore.
Screw them.
They played with lives for money and lost.

Pneumonia already got several of my family members. I mean they got it for a week, not that it killed them.

big deal- just getting over influenza a- a whopper of a flu BUT perfectly survivable- several miserable days- but on the mend now-

it was around 84 that i had a really bad flu too- that one sent me to hospital struggling to breathe- got some meds- and slowly got over it
