@Max:
We're having a massive outbreak of the flu in the hospital I work in. First the inpatients were down, now it's all the staff as well. We're trying to Keep it running but it gets harder and harder. And I can almost bet I won't make it through the week without infection. Just great
Don't you get immunisations?
-
Yes, but only the Basic one which doesn't cover this exact type of virus

My wife and daughter both fought off the flu this past week. Both had vaccinations but still had symptoms. Vaccines probably helped limit the time and intensity but this year's flu is especially bad and it's been spreading like wildfire. Drives me crazy when out in public and someone is clearly sick.

Flu vaccines are a con. It’s like trying to vaccinate against a cold. To many strains.

Agreed. I get annoyed when a parent brings their sick child to daycare, especially when it's against policy. It's this sort of carelessness that gets my son sick and then me. Daycares are like petri dishes that breed unwanted illnesses

I definitely think that flu vaccines are good for children since they're more susceptible to becoming deathly ill, however, I have not had a flu shot in a couple of years and rarely get sick. The last time I had a flu shot I still got sick shortly afterwards. Plus, it helps that I wash the sh*t out of my hands and make my son do the same thing so as not to spread germs around. I know too many people that don't wash their hands at all, let alone cover their mouths when they're sick.

Hi, Long time no post…
I'm going to Texas and around southern states next 2 weeks, starting from next saturday.
Any recommendations, places to visit, rockabilly gigs, car/bike shows etc.?
All info welcome.Hey man, what part of Texas and what southern states?
Obviously Austin has a great local music scene that @Clint_D could steer you towards and if you go through Dallas/Fort Worth, @formulapfaff could probably help guide you around.
The hot southern spots are going to be New Orleans, Biloxi, Birmingham, Atlanta and possible Charleston - depending on your route.
I would drop in Dallas, ride through Austin down to San Antonio, hand east through Houston, hit New Orleans on my way to Biloxi and Mobile, head north to Birmingham and slide into Atlanta and up into the Tennessee Mountains.
That would be the best 1000 miles ever.

You have my sympathy. I got West London which makes sense but also reveals the major flaw with this test. It’s based on geography, where as in reality class and cultural background play an enormous role in British accents. It also implies a conflation of accent and dialect. Which is, like, seeeeew dumb, ya know. Fo’ reelz.
