From the video evidence shown, they're all outside.  Unless they're sharing beer bongs and doing tequila shots from one-another's asscracks, I don't expect much of anything to result from the activities that were recorded.

Now, the house parties and apartment parties that were NOT shown, might be something else entirely.

My wife's "sister-friend" in Brazil told her most of her staff have COVID.  So, any trip for us down there is off, definitely.

She and her son operate a large fazenda in the country.  We had some notion of visiting as she has a driver pick us up at the airport.  Nyet.  I thought being in the boonies might be OK.

Not a good forecast.  Hopefully it's wrong.

In the past 8 weeks, I've had a flu shot (today), both shingles shots (they made me sick), and a pneumonia shot.

I can talk to Bill Gates at any time using my tooth fillings now.

We chat once a week or so.  He likes Apple stock at these levels.

Getting my flu shot and my tetanus booster on Thursday. Kids will get their flu shots this weekend. 

That said, I think the flu season this year will be nonexistent.

BTW by "nonexistent" I mean "80-90% smaller than usual". 

But the reasoning is that the flu is less transmissible than COVID, so to the extent that we're all trying to avoid COVID, we're going to avoid the flu MUCH more effectively. 

COVID hit the southern hemisphere, just as it hit the northern hemisphere, in March. But the difference was that the northern hemisphere was coming out of flu season while the southern was going into flu season. Much of the southern hemisphere effectively didn't have a flu season, as a result, because people were WFH, social distancing, washing hands, wearing masks, etc. 

So I expect the flu season to be tiny compared to any normal year.

well last year we had an estimated 29 Million flu cases so we have our work cut out for us
plus when a vaccine hits for covid it will be a natural tendency to relax our protection

but lets hope your right

If we beat COVID with a vaccine but the flu season is normal, that's a win IMHO. If we're still trying to control COVID and the benefit is a super-weak flu season, at least it's a silver lining for the gray cloud that has been COVID.

Yes, all of the measures we're taking to prevent the transmission of the novel coronavirus, are even more effective against the flu which is less transmissible.  I, too, expect an almost non-existent flu season.

My friend in Vegas has liver cancer.  No visitors because of covid.  His wife is a mess.  Fun stuff.

Leave you sordid past out of this - not that there's anything wrong with that
