Why? Well, Canada’s winter respiratory virus season got off a late start and now it is in full swing, officials say. That suggests more people are sick with the flu and landing in the hospital compared to years past.

    I got my flu shot and still got sick twice this year. I normally don’t get sick at all. This year has sucked.

      I don’t recall being as sick yearly compared to after COVID hit than before, course I am in my 40s now so I’m sure that factors into it but rarely was I curled up on the couch with a noticeable fever even for other sickness. I’d even venture I rarely had the flu before that, almost never had a fever for a couple days but since then at least once a year I get pretty ill with a decent fever for a few days, sometimes twice a year. For those wondering yes I got my shots and can only imagine how awful it’d be without them.
