My staff of 11 went nearly 2 years without only one or two sick days. Since the masks came off a month ago I’ve got people calling in sick once or twice a week. Flu, strep, bronchitis. No COVID except for one person who decided to isolate with his COVID positive wife. I’m not sure it’s because the masks came off or just because people are going to group events again. Probably both.
Husband just got over it. As the masking rules dropped, and the flu vaccine missed the mark, the number of flu cases this year (at least here in Switzerland) is rather high.
I don’t think getting the flu now is particularly strange. Mask mandates are gone and multiple articles have pointed out that this season’s flu shot is terrible, only 16% effective.
Okay, I’m sure they all have their vaxes. Like a lot of the most prominent anti-vax politicians who rant and rave about freedumb and keeping businesses open and schools open and let’s not tell people how to run their lives and businesses, but they make laws forbidding businesses to mandate vaxes for their employees and customers, etc. And of course, they are probably all vaxed up themselves, even if they refuse to admit it. (DeSantis, we’re talking about you.)
