Flu, rather like covid, can be "proper flu" or just a sniffle. Studies followed people who were flu antibody negative at the start of the season, and asked them if they had had flu at the end of the season. 30% of those who said "no" could be shown to have been infected in the interim.The funny thing is... I've had real, proper flu twice in my life (as opposed to a bad cold). In both cases there were times when death didn't actually seem that bad an option

same here, maybe three times - twice when I was on board, the commander was so concerned he considered arranging a medivac, nowadays, especially with my underlying health conditions I have to be very careful and try and take as many prophylactic measures as practicable - it's why I empathise with people who you still occasionally see wearing masks in public and find crass comments about those in very poor, uneducated taste.The funny thing is...
