Wash your hands. Get your annual vaccines. Better late than never.
- Norovirus vaccine isn't out yet unfortunately. But still a good suggestion
  
  True, but flu and covid vaccines are available for nearly everyone. RSV vaccine is available for certain people where I am.
- Don't forget, take your ivermectin, consume bleach and find some way of getting sunlight into your body. 😛
  
  sun your taint
The norovirus is absolutely awful this year. My kid was sick for over 10 days. Definitely wash hands.
- I had it. 2 days. Very sudden onset. Very violent puking.
  
  Me too! First time in 18 years that I vomited and it was intense.
For the outside looking in, it seems you guys all get really really sick whenever Donald Trump is in charge. I'm not suggesting a connection, but it is weird.
- I see your joke, but covid was under Biden...
  
  Edit: and, apparently, he's still in office. What's the political cycle in the states? I thought orangeman was already elected...
  
  COVID started under Trump and he tried to pretend like it wasn't a big deal. Do you not remember him catching COVID while in office?
  
  Edit: There's an extremely long lag between elections and taking office in the US since the dates for both at the federal level were established in the late 1700s and we haven't bothered to change it. Elections at the beginning of November, take office in January.
  
  The first year of covid was under orange man, he becomes acting president in 2 days.
Can you chaps build that wall already, and please be so kind as to stay unhygienic inside it? And don’t go around blaming Chinese bats this time, I got me eyes on you .. from a social distance.
- While at it, please build one on the north too
- Touché guvna, enjoy your evening crumpets.
