I did my annual screening last week and they had the flu shot, which I got.  Didn't even offer me the COVID shot and I didn't ask about it.

I sure hope they got the strain correct on the flu shot this year.  Last year they missed, and I got the flu for the first time ever.  It was truly miserable.  Far, far worse than the couple of days of mild discomfort from COVID.

I don't think anyone has combined flu and COVID, it's two separate shots now, I know it's been talked about.  There also is this RSV vaccine.

Ive never had the flu or the shot

not saying Im against the shot just never needed it

course I no longer have children at home nor a job to go to so that helps
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I don't get the flu shot every year, maybe 50% of the time,  but I did last year.

And I also wasn't sure if I'd ever had the flu before.  Now, I know.  I had definitely never had the flu before, because I've never felt as sick and miserable as I did last year when I had the flu.  Multiple days of fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, runny nose, coughing.  Just awful.

The Montezuma's Revenge I got in Mexico many years back might have felt as bad, but it only lasted 24-36 hours. The flu went on for days and days.

Got a bad case of the flu in the Fall of 1984 and missed over a week of school.   No memory of the passage of some days.  Should have went to the university infirmary but didn't know better.  Been getting my flu shot every year since.

This is so F'd up on all levels.

REAL practicing doctors are saying they cannot differentiate symptoms between Covid, the common cold and the flu RIGHT NOW.

Follow the money on this one. MF'ers should be in prison.
also follow the 2024 election cause Im sure the states will have to take drastic action for folks to vote

Does this justify the spending of $600M?

I wouldn't expect doctors to be able to detect COVID based on symptoms alone.  I think it useful for folks to know if they do have COVID so as to avoid contact with folks for whom COVID could be dangerous.  The flu can be dangerous for them as well of course.

I think some in government think COVID can be stamped out, and it can't.  It's endemic.  But we could do a better job protecting the more vulnerable.

They used to. Covid is now a cold. That's it.

Are people still dying WITH Covid? Yep, a few. But it ain't FROM Covid.

I think older could can die due to COVID.  They would be alive if they didn't contract it.  COVID led to deterioration and then pneumonia.

I read somewhere that old folks can die from a broken leg, in effect, it puts them out of being able to do much like walking for a while, and then they are susceptible to other maladies.
