I feel like these are conversations we had exactly 6 years ago 

F’ing Déjà vu.

I've talked to or heard from a lot of people who have gone through what I went through. They don't bother testing and assume it is flu and go around telling people it is flu.

Just googling, I saw some tabloidy type outlets claiming Adenovirus is the mystery illness sweeping the country. That is my suspicion, a particularly nasty strain. Sorry in advance if anybody gets that beast. It seems to be making the rounds.

And I’m guessing it will get worse this week and next as a lot of people were out of schools and work for a bit. My wife’s had a lot of patients in with “it” and a friends pediatrician office has been busy.

there is no lack of stuff circulating now. I've heard from people in the area that have had Flu A, Flu B, and Covid all in the last month, and if Edman is correct that Adenovirus is out there too, the more the merrier.

Just in time for me to take a nine-day trip out of the country! Yay! 🤪

The good news is it's an extremely slow time in CW. Most "passers thru" are hopefully vaccinated. Will probably carry a mask just in case
