It's winter storm time,
and people are cooped up indoors together
-- a strong scenario for infectious things passing around.

I turn into a very cross old lady in the supermarket when people sneeze or cough loudly and copiously with no recourse to handkerchief. They're generously showering us all with their germs. I usually wear a woolly scarf, and quickly slip it over my mouth and nose. I must look like a bank robber.
We're avoiding the Park-And-Ride bus for a week or two. It's a moving box of germs, and no-one wants the windows open. Again, people sneeze and snot without even covering their mouths. I get murderous about it!

Regionally the A combinate flu is mutating into a B flu. That is good news because the flu vaccine this year works on B flu.

My mum is 85 and had her flu jab in November.
But in the light of my illness, I stayed away from her
[not too difficult as I couldn't face up to getting my boots on and leaving the house anyway],
and cancelled all her home visits from health workers and housing association service contractors.

I suppose the flu season is tailing off now and it's safer to rearrange home visits...???
