Schools are starting. A regular flu is most certainly going to cloud the picture wrt coronavirus.
It is likely the most important year to get a vaccine in our lifetimes.
The cost of unnecessary shut down over misidentified infection could be immense.
Experts suggest that adults over 65 and those with compromised immune systems wait until at least mid-September, so that the vaccine’s protection lasts the entire season.
It takes 2 weeks for the body to break out the antibodies.
I haven't gotten the flu since I was a kid (30+ years), I hardly ever get sick, unless I get the flu shot.
In 2000, I got the flu shot, sicker than a dog for a week right after.
In January of this year, I got a pertussis booster before going to Canada at the suggestion of my employer. The doctor talked me into a flu shot. 2 weeks later I slept in my hotel room for 36 hours straight with sweats/chills alternating about every hour. This is when I think I may have had CoVID.
Anecdotal, I know. My wife and children always get the shot, I am back to never again... I recommend it for everyone but myself.
A quick Google search didn’t really produce anything definitive. Is there something you are basing this on?

The good news is that the flu in the Southern Hemisphere was mild this year, thanks to the Covid interventions. We can expect it to be mild here too, if we continue to socially distance and wear masks.
But fulll agreement on getting vaccinated. Those who don’t get vaccines are menaces to society.
who wants to be 1st in line to get it?
I’m considering participating, but am waiting for answers to a few questions before I go further.
They lie about most everything. But we're rolling the dice on this.
