There have been a lot of people getting sick at school.
Three people are out from our program at least. I will stay extra if possible to help out today, but Bob has an appointment locally.
Today is Tuesday. My student did not seem well yesterday. We will see how the day unfolds.

Best to still practice the basic health protocols and maintain social distancing.

Tomorrow we will have that drop. This seems to be stomach related, but is not what Bob had, which is much more serious.

@GardenGerty The stomach bus is around from quite a long time.

I hope your student will feel better soon and that you do not get sick and can get to Bob's appointment with him.

That is good that you do not get sick with that often. Are you talking about Corona?

My son and I both recently had a wicked respiratory flu. Several others I know have had it, too. Fever, bad cough, throat sore, and general all over hurting. We tested and re-tested for Covid, didn't have that, but we all still have a cough.
I hope you can stay well. We have a lot of Covid active here, too.

When I took my son to the ER, the place was packed with Covid cases and flu patients. I guess it's everywhere.

It is still very hot here, but the weather can effect how healthy or ill we feel.

@GardenGerty Right now here weather is kind of mix, sometimes it is too hot and sometimes its like cold wave. Surely not good for any.

This is not the flu but is a stomach virus. I have heard that the flu season will be early this year, and the flu shot is available, I just have not had a chance to get it.

@GardenGerty You should get it since it adds another layer of safety. Take care.

No, the doctor Bob saw said it is norovirus--gastroenteritis. It seems to take adults longer than kids to get better.

Stomach virus. Not what Bob had, but good old fashioned gastroenteritis.

I usually am not around many people so I do not get sick as often. Mostly just around my one student.

Take care of yourself. Sometimes those headaches can be the forerunner of other things.

When people start gathering together, like for school, they often have a wave of sickness. This is a stomach virus, not covid or influenza.
