So i was all set to get my Booster this week and i've come down with flu :(
Doctor put me in antibiotics and a few other things. I know its not COVID-19 as I got tested, and I get tested for travel as well but I do it adhoc sometimes just to be safe. I was putting off the flu jab as well until this year's edition comes out.
Symptoms not nearly as bad as COVID-19, but still sucky. And sucks i have to wait longer for my Booster.

Interestingly, the Dr said we can expect an increase in flu/colds now because we're doing more "normal" things and our immune systems are relatively low aginst other viruses even though we're well protected against COVID.

My daily regimen normally consists of 1 x Berocca, 1 x Vitamin C fizzy, 1 x Zinc, 1 x multivitamin and then my Rx meds. Then 2x a week Vitamin D. I also take an anti-inflammatory once a week for just-in-case.
The problem was I got lazy, and for 2 weeks didn't take most of them as I was in and out of the country

and WHAM! Flu got me.

So don't forget to keep your immunity up with good meds, it seems there's a few other nasty little bugs running around.

You shouldn’t take an anti-inflammatory for “just in case”. Those can harm you and you should only take them when necessary.

Yep, there’s a lot of people catching flu at the moment. Get well soon.

Was the shag worth it?
 
So what I'm gathering from this is, the masks didn't help, the washing of the hands didn't help, neither did the paranoia over COVID help. You managed to get that and the flu?
Should've worn three masks and washed your hands in hydrochloric acid,only way to make sure no viruses get through.
 
I understand Vitamin D but what are those other things for? Berocca etc? I think I have seen advertisements ages ago but does it really help in anything except to remove money from wallet?
