so this flu season is turning up to be much worse than the last few. plus there's a new variant doing the rounds in Europe that wasn't recognised in time to be put into the annual vaccines (though you should still vaccinate to prevent other variants or any recombination, and it may still confer a benefit, maybe).
luckily we have a solution: masks!
you know what to do. mask up. yes even when it's uncomfortable. mask the fuck up.
