Isn't that just standard winter flu stuff scotty ?.

I've seen on the news that hospitals are flat out because of fle cases , but that's pretty normal at this time of year .

That’s how Covid started it was just “winter flu “   Let’s see if they fall for a lockdown second time round because it’s coming

I just can't see that many folks would go along with it this time scotty .   To be honest , I can't really see that the government would be daft enough to try it again . Paying people to stay at home didn't exactly work out great last time mate .

I was f***ing gutted last time , I would have loved to have been payed to stay at home.

I don't know much about it , but it's probably because the weather has been so damp and mild ( relatively).  Perfect breeding conditions for the flu. Especially with kids , they're proper snot magnets at the best of times.

Mind you , schools close for no reason at all these days. My school never closed for a single day when I was there . If the heating broke , they'd let you keep your coat on in lessons .

I think that's just the way that the winter flu bug has always happened scotty . It sort of works its way around the globe over a matter of months. By the time it's ended , next years has started , and it goes around again. I remember seeing it on the tv years ago.
