Tested again this morning. Negative. But positive for influenza. So much for the flu vax we got two weeks ago. She's down now, too. FML.

Ugh - totally and completely sucks.
Sorry you have the flu, but a lot better than the Rona for sure.

Because of all the isolation, we are more likely to get “colds” (which are quite often a different version of coronavirus) and the flu. Our immune systems have not had the opportunity to build up the antibodies.

Very true - just like teachers. When they go back to school each fall, they come down with all the crap their students carry in and all are miserable until immunity builds up.
And there really wasn't a flu season last year, which is an interesting phenomenon that seems to have been unstudied. Vaccination rates weren't up, and since COVID rates were still high, you can't attribute the lack of flu to social distancing and masking.
It would be great if that could be studied more - did rona just overpower the flu? Did we miss a lot of flu diagnosis because people didn't see a doctor and just stayed home? Was it just a super mild flu season? Since COVID is directly related to the flu (both are coronaviruses), it would be nice to see if there was any correlation we could learn from.
And John, hope you and the missus are doing better today.

Thanks. She's in pretty rough shape. Anytime she doesn't feel well compounds on itself 10 fold. Fortunately for both of us I was on the rebound enough to be able to take care of her yesterday. UNfortunately I think it might have been a little too much a little too soon and paying the price today. The doctor went ahead and fixed her up with Tamiflu yesterday just for me asking (I think I'm still the "he gets whatever he wants" guy over there.
I'd love to be able to get my butt over to plant fatness today but can't see taking any big steps until the cough and the random outbreaks of profuse sweat come to an end. Plus I can't really mask up there so I don't want to germinate anyone else either.
