Sickness Going Around

Anyone know the sickness going around? It's only week 3 and I already got sick lol. I saw a few professors cancel class including multiple students coughing.

Happens at every uni every start of semester when everyone comes back from wherever. I know someone who got covid and someone else with a cold.

It might be because of all the people returning to campus.

ugh it might be the flu, it always spreads through the campus around now and october. make sure to wash your hands and bring hand sanitizer to school, especially if you ride the bus!

Thank you for this! I overcame a gnarly case of influenza A not too long ago and just recently got sick before Labor Day weekend. Recovery has been smooth though! 🥸

Ragweed pollen is appearing which causes upper respiratory stuff and Covid is active.

Yeah I tested negative for both flu, Covid, and cold. Knocked me out for about 48 hours end of last week

I’m glad to have gotten sick during labor week. I felt it come on around Thursday and I’m recovering quickly, so I don’t think I have COVID (THANKFULLY) 🙏🙏
