The CES 2026 flu (hexbear.net)

This is from the tech reviewer at dongknows.com. On a personal note I want to do Hyrox but I'm afraid of catching covid or anything else from other participants. These places & events where people will show up regardless if they're sick or not (think vacations) are very dangerous.

It's bad enough when workers are coerced into coming to work when sick. It's even more infuriating when folks who are on death's door are hacking up on groceries.

Is it the Flu, is it Covid, is it one of the many other pathogens increasing in spread across the globe? Who knows!

Don't worry OP. The flu is just like Covid which is just like the flu.

People make jokes about it, it's so bizarre. Why are we so flippant about disease?
