Are You Ready For The Flu Season?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I just read a story (https://www.newscientist.com/article/2242113-au...) that the flu season in Australia, Chile, and South Africa was mildly low this year (Their flu season is May - August). More of this has to do with the Covid19 lockdowns and mask wearing.
Do you see the United States having the same results with the flu season, or do you think it will be worse? How will you prepair to fight Covid19 & the flu together?

Members shared their personal flu shot plans and mask-wearing habits in response to a question about whether the U.S. flu season would mirror the mild results seen in Australia, Chile, and South Africa during their recent winter. Several members expressed skepticism that America would see similar outcomes, citing widespread resistance to COVID safety measures like masking and social distancing, with one member noting that complacency and lack of compliance could lead to higher flu and COVID cases this season. A recurring theme was the importance of getting vaccinated, maintaining hygiene practices, and continuing to follow safety protocols, though many acknowledged deep concerns about public cooperation and the potential for a difficult winter ahead.

I think with the spiking of covid-19 in th US and people not wanting to get flu shots or wear masks it might be bad

@A myHIVteam Member and @A myHIVteam Member so how does this answer the question about what you think covid will look like this winter, as compared to the winter that is just ending south of the equator, with covid? people south of the equator got their flu shots too, but look at their flu season. How do you think our flu season will compare to theirs?
