The Flu was basically non-existent last winter cuz majority of the country where people got together was shutdown.

Everything is open this year.

There is not enough data to determine how those two viruses will react to each other.

Worse case scenario is they merge and mutate into something super powerful. If that happens, we are fucked.



I work in a branch of health care. Over the years the flu shot was recommended, then within the past 5 years or so even more so. Basically without the flu shot, you'd need to be masked from Dec. 1st - March. Then it was extended to Dec. 1st to early-May. Fortunately the staffing's been cooperative working with the immunocompromised. Been on even higher alert during this pandemic. Really ensuring they're keeping their bubbles small.

I usually get the flu shot in mid- to late-November.

You have to on ships and oil rigs. They are losing a ton of money everytime they have to evacuate the rig, shut down production and do a deep cleaning. It's fucking stupid. At least with the PCR tests and quarantines they were slowing it down. Once they removed the social distancing and masks, shit goes to hell in a matter of days.
