Partly, also the fact we’ve been locked up like guinea pigs for a year obviously helped

Its a combination. Good ventilation, social distancing and masks. I think these are good practices to follow pandemic or not. I think masks are a very smart move on things like the tubes, trains, buses and planes

I had a stonker of a cold about a month ago out of the blue, everyone here had it. Was rotten for about a week.

There’s also sickness bugs going around again now.

Friends of mine have had it who work in offices.

My best friend currently has it, as does her fella.

Facebook every day for the past few weeks different friends saying they have it.

Hand washing and sanitation.
People using proper disinfectants at tills between customers, at research on tables and chairs.

But mostly 50% of the population that didn't wash hands do now.

I’ve never had the Flu and never had a flu injection either ..

Now it appears we’re gonna ‘encouraged’ to get the flu vaccine when we get the third ‘booster’ jab in the Autumn

3 of the 4 of us here had a horrendous cold 3 or 4 weeks back. Either that or Delta Covid - but me and the wife are both double-vaxxed . It was, most likely, a non-covid bug.

Although to be frr, the eldest brought it home from school, where they're all maskless and snogging each other so masks are really sort of irrelevant in this scenario.

Latest seems to be that only over-50's will be getting boosters though.

I had a head cold a few weeks ago but nothing since before Christmas 2019.

Masks obviously do help and people are more sanitised now.

you dont have to have a flu vaccination, but if you are going for a covid booster, it makes sense to have it. Ive had flu a couple of times and it's grim, I don't want it again if i can help it. However, when they formulate it, it is based on what they think will be the dominant flu strain, you may catch another strain

Nothing in this life is certain, but I think it's always sensible to hedge your bets on what protects your health the most

Point of note: There is nothing to stop you catching covid and flu at the same time, and while a vaccine may protect you from the worst effects of covid, we have no idea what a covid/flu combination could do to you if you were to get it
