There are multiple flu viruses.
Anecdote: A friend’s family got COVID about a month ago, with the exception of one kid. That kid now has influenza A and is way sicker than the family members when they had COVID. The mom now also has influenza A but it’s been really mild for her, but she got the flu shot and her kid didn’t.
Yes, but, when CS referred to “a number of respiratory viruses” he wasn’t referring to the family of influenza viruses, we just call that the flu.
Oh-oh…my brother just left the club:
I’ve been listening to a lot of Nickelback lately, because ever since I got COVID, I have no taste!
Brother-in-law tested positive today. Mother-in-law home from hospital with oxygen. Sis-in-law still feeling like she was hit by a bus. Boys (21 and 15) not sick so far.
If I got mildly sick with COVID again, I’m not sure I would even bother testing myself. Whether it’s COVID or something else, the procedure is the same: lay low and don’t spread it until you recover.
Isn’t there a COVID pill they could prescribe you though now?
i think you have to be over 50 to get it
I’m still in the club for now, but my teen daughter just tested positive tonight. My days are probably numbered.
A huge loss for the virgins club!!!

lol no way that’s real.
of course not, but it’s funny.
when trump got covid it was OMG THE PRESIDENT HAS COVID!!!OMG
now it’s like wow, biden avoided covid for a long time. surprising that any public figure hasn’t had it at this point.
oh i guess also as was pointed out, it was posted before noon today even happened.
would have been funny from biden himself, but he doesn’t seem to have a sense of humor. although, i guess not all that presidential.
If the most powerful man in the world got it, what hope do I have?
um, you hide in your apartment and rarely leave. why would you be more likely to get it than joe biden who is a public figure where it’s shocking that he didn’t get it for this long? covid don’t care if you’re powerful in choosing to infect you.
what matters here is that as the most powerful man (which is debatable, he doesn’t seem all that powerful these days), he gets treated fast. that Paxlovid stuff will wipe it out immediately. did for my uncle. i think it works great for most people.
I still gotta take the elevator up and down and that kind of stuff to get my food, so I’m doomed.
I dunno how I’m gonna walk my cats or protect them if I get it 
maybe you’ll get it, but the chances you do seem a lot lower than joe biden who i assume was working directly with people all the time and not isolating like you do.
you walk your cats? isn’t that a dog thing? if you get it, hopefully a minor enough case and you or your wife can still take care of your cats.
And he can isolate in his gym to avoid infecting his wife.
