My daughter is a sales supervisor at a home improvement store here in California. They’ve all been wearing masks at work since March 2020. Thursday last week they had 8 employees test positive for Covid and 4 more the next day. (Company provides self tests, and requires everyone test every week.) Some with very mild symptoms, but positive nevertheless.
Latest Covid news is that Boston University has combined the spike protein from Omicron with the original Wuhan strain and come up with a new variant with an 80% mortality rate in mice and is 5 times more infectious in humans than Omicron. Congratulations! Outrage as Boston University CREATES Covid strain that has an 80% kill rate | Daily Mail Online

Geez Alan--that's comforting news to sleep on!Originally Posted by Alan
Just had husband tell me he got a message early this morning from a friend that friend tested positive. Of course, he and another man spent yesterday with them in a vehicle picking up and delivering for a food bank. We are all in this together. Got all our boosters and our flu shot.
My sister has it. She came down with symptoms on 10/14. We were with her on 10/12, but we seem to be fine so far. We'll follow the guidelines and mask around others through 10/22.
Two weeks ago a sibling caught it. Volunteers once a week at a food bank and apparently another 6 people from the food bank also tested positive. Don't know severity of symptoms. Sibling said "like really bad flu".

Haven't had a flu shot in years (or had the flu) but with all the news about how bad it will be and seeing high rates in TX... guess will do it. Makes me nervous because after the last 2 flu shots I got the flu really bad.
Got my second Covid booster and flu shot at the same time yesterday at Walgreens. Booster in left arm since it usually gets somewhat sore and I’m right handed. Flu shot in right arm. So far not feeling exhausted like I did with three previous Covid shots.

Not exactly.
You would be hard pressed to find a legitimate medical authority that would say the flu shot can cause the flu. But it's your choice. Possibly a discussion with your doctor would ease your concerns.
