So, i thought i got Covid again...turns out it is just the flu....!

What kind of flu is going around right now?

Of respiratory samples that tested positive at public health laboratories during the reporting week, about 77% were influenza A, and of subtyped samples, about 90% were the 2009 H1N1 strain. There is an advantage to being tested, to prevent spread if you can isolate, and there are antivirals that can prevent the progression from milder symptoms to severe. It is believed that this year's vaccine should be very effective as well, and it is not too late to become immunized.

@LILY61 If you have no major risk factors, that is all you probably needed, if it was even influenza. We are seeing outbreaks of all respiratory viral infections, not just flu and COVID.

I still say it's cosmic radiation and gravitational changes causing sickness. Due to sunspots.

@LILY61 well they warned any astronauts outside the atmosphere will likely get cancer.
@pride49 for sure

@pride49 I hope you are kidding, or trying to be funny. If not, then, science can help you out. Earth's atmosphere does a pretty good job of protecting us from the geomagnetic radiation from the sun spot activity.
