So I've come down with the flu for the second time since the pandemic started. Told you guys that the flu is way worse than COVID-19.

Get tested, I mean it's possible to be unlucky enough to get the flu twice in the space of a few months, it's happened to me but that's when I was around hundreds of people a week or working as a cashier and handling peoples filty returns but generally flus are spaced out by 9-12 months if you're not travelling and the likelyhood of the flu spreading now amongst the lockdown is far less than Covid, the flu is a hell of a lot less contiguous. Unless you know someone who has had the flu who has been around you significantly enough to pick it up and they've tested negative get your ass to a swab, I'm not trying to scare you but remind you of the likelihood of either and apparently getting tested saves lives. Tell someone you're sick at least and for them to call in on you daily. 

I can't get tested because it'll make my country look bad.
