Well, I was one of those who never get the flu shot, since I have never had the flu.  But as life turns out I just got the flu shot and will be getting the covid vaccine when it is available to me. Found out last week that my 2 week old granddaughter has cystic fibrosis, so I got the flu shot, got a TDAP booster and waiting on the covid vaccine.  

As I have stated many times, while I don't believe that the "overall" danger of covid is worth worrying about and that those who have co-morbidities should self-isolate rather than shut down the country.  So while I have kept my distance from my 80yo mother with immunity issues (Masked, meet outside while she is in her garage), I needed to hold that little doll baby, so I bit the bullet and will continue to bite it in the future.

saw some real crappy stuff on the news last night about hospitals over run in Cali.

As you know, I'm not a fan of lock downs, but when the hospitals are over run, there's a need to reduce the spread.
Much of California has been on lockdown for over a month. Keeping restaurants closed isn't helping. People gathering is causing this.

the problem with co-morbidities is when a person is unaware they have them

this happened to my 54 year old friend, who had no idea he had leukemia

are they shutting off people's water and other utilities to discourage gathering?

They threaten to do that, but reality is government simply cannot know when folks get together very often.

My step son tells me that it's rife, people are frustrated and taking matters into their own hands and having large dinner parties and informal bars.

Yep. It's not even about bars or restaurants. Certainly not about hair salons and nail joints. 

It's just widespread disobedience of Newsom's diktats. 

To be honest, last weekend my wife and I went to a brewery and today we're going to our wine bar. I honestly don't feel it's unsafe, because it's outside, it's just the two of us, and so although we're in "public" we'll be distanced and any time we're not at our own table we're wearing masks. These businesses, according to Newsom's rules, are closed. Not in OC.

It's like anything else. You tell someone that they can't do it, and they are more inclined to do it.

Here, you can do anything, but most people are doing the right thing - including the businesses who are happy to be open. Most places are operating at 50 percent - by CHOICE.

Well I tested negative so that’s good.  

My symptoms were minor (occasional light chills/aches) so it must have been  a flu bug.  

So that’s twice for me- tested negative in August as well( more because the Mrs. was very ill)

Still wearing a mask, staying out of all avoidable public, and hand washing relentlessly.  Still working from home.   So..  we just keep going....
