+1 Sore throat, congestion, cough. Very similar to COVID but testing negative on PCR and rapid (we are admittedly over testers, so tested many times).

Same here, but also with a high fever for a couple days. Pediatrician said it's going around (and judging by the children's medication shelves at Target, she is right! They were pretty cleaned out.)

Have the COVIDians moved onto worrying about flu in schools now?!?

It's like humans haven't survived for 100K+ years.

I wish they'd put the same energy into improving the academic performance of our public schools, which just suffered a significant amount of damage because of prolonged school closures they supported. The learning loss, especially among the most vulnerable students, is so sad.

Same here, but somehow combined with strep so it's been fun.

Calm down. People are allowed to want to avoid the flu. It just wiped out the entire family of my friend in another state and her 5 year old is now pissing blood. Also, your performative phony concern for the most vulnerable (who you don’t get to speak for) is showing.

It's a tranmissible virus. There's nothing you can do other than (i) go get a flu shot (and hope it's the right strain) or (ii) locking your child in their house. Otherwise, focus your time on something productive that can help this community, especially its most vulnerable demographics, recover from the horrible school policies you most likely supported.

Just tested + for flu. Miserable. Doctor said flu is hitting early and hard this year.

Except you can also make sure you and your kids practice good hand washing hygiene, cover coughs and sneezes, and possibly wear a mask if you are coughing and sneezing but feel well enough to go to school...
