We are in the midst of conquering the Covid 19 virus, but it is also the time when the flu virus visits Northern America. People are heading back to work and attending events in large numbers again. However, the masks are gone in most cases and people have returned to the annual Fall sport of “spreading germs”.  If you are over 60, have a smaller child or have a medical condition your immune system is already compromised and you are more susceptible to getting sick. Hopefully, you had a flu shot or planning to do so which makes your chances of having a bad case, even if you catch the flu might be somewhat lesser.
