    And covid was pretty much why he lost in 2020 …

    If we won’t have another pandemic in next 4 years, we will be really lucky.

      The flu is particularly bad this year, though definitely not pandemic level. It is knocking down and hospitalizing the elderly and those with crappy lungs.

      Also, it’s keeping our egg prices higher than meat right now. I can buy a family tray of deboned/skinned chicken breast for $10. 18 eggs: $12. Which is crazy. If COVID pricing is any indicator of things to come, egg prices will stay higher than meat.

      Flu is a fickle, ever changing, ever mutating virus. So, it’s possible. It’s also why King picked flu for his captain trips. The mutation thing made his story plausible.

        I got influenza a and have never had it so bad. While it was really only one day of the worst symptoms and I got Tamiflu to knock it down, itjust hit the threee week mark and the cough is not going away
