I wouldn’t be so quick to ignore this. A good friend’s brother-in-law died over the weekend from the flu. He was in his 30s, in otherwise good health, and had one child with another on the way. It’s very sad.
My wife and I are healthy and never get colds/flu etc. BUT, this year when all this started in late Nov we were both very sick, and I stayed sick for three weeks. BTW, we both had flu shots in late Sept.
The flu this season is apparently killing more people than usual beyond the normal high risk groups.
