Fed up of hearing about the flu

I know I’m being unreasonable but am I the only one who’s getting wound up by the constant coverage of the flu on every national news outlet?

It is December. Of course the flu is going around! Every winter we hear about the NHS being overwhelmed.

I can accept minor coverage but it’s been the main story for days on end and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop! And I know the flu kills and people need to be aware to take precautions but surely people don’t need it to be pointed out to them that they have an increased chance of catching the cold or flu in the run up to Christmas?

I was deathly ill with it last year but luckily have managed to avoid it up to now.

How is the tin foil hat? Nice and snug?

Read an insert, clown. It will show you how my tin foil hat was made from all the aluminium contained in jabs. All antivaxxers were once provaxxers. Keep on jabbin' though, clown! One of them will get you one day. RIP.

Funny how those who say 'read the insert' always resort to insults. Like they don't really understand what they're on about so need to pad it out a bit...

Well that's me well and truly told. Did you take an entire month composing that erudite and thoughtful response?

I’ve taken D3-K2, vit C amongst others, never had any jabs and so far not even had a sniffle for years. Do what you think is best for your body and don’t knock others for what they think is best.

Garlic, cloves and ginger, add to soup or other meals, works like magic.

Just baking some ginger up now, feeling protected already, heard from someone recently that they had this thing bad, very serious for a few days, someone else we know hospitalised with it, diet is so important I have really realised that recently.
