Flu shots are never 100%. They try and predict the flu strain that's coming.
They also can lessen the flu symptoms if you happen to catch it.

Flu vaccines aren't one size fits all. There are different strains of the flu but that doesn't mean the vaccine isn't working to fight the other strains it's meant to. Just because a vaccine doesn't work in some cases doesn't mean it's a bad idea altogether. That's like saying since chemotherapy doesn't work for some cancer patients, we should get rid of it. I know chemotherapy doesn't work for all cancer patients, but God forbid if I have cancer, I'm going to do what I can to help kill the disease and go through it.
Even if the percentage of effectiveness for a covid-19 vaccine is under 30%, I'm still taking it. Better than nothing imo. This is just my opinion.

Russian Roulette.
I've gotten take out once since this whole thing started. Emptied the contents of the containers into my own dish and then reheated the sh*t out of it in a 400 degree oven and discarded the containers.
I'm done with take out now though. Not risking it. Nope.
My pops used to be in the restaurant dsitribution biz so I've seen all the kitchens of the "nice" restaurants and how they get down and it's pretty gross so I rarely eat out anyways. If I do it's at an extremely familiar spot.
TBH I'd feel safer eating at McD's than these mom and pop spots based on cleanliness.

Massive Spike in NYC ‘Cardiac Arrest' Deaths Seen as Sign of COVID-19 Undercounting
The FDNY reported a nearly 400 percent increase in “cardiac arrest” home deaths in late March and early April, a spike that officials say is almost certainly driven by COVID-19, whether they were formally diagnosed or not. Between March 20 and April 5, the department recorded nearly 2,200 such...

its an incredible risk. And right now, everyone is trying to minimize the risks. Nothing more, nothing less. Eating food prepared by someone you don't know is risky. Is it really that difficult to understand and needs to be argued?
I've seen articles stating eating out won't get your sick. But i still don't understand that. So if someone with covid coughs in your burger, you're ok? Its like when people said a masks won't help you back in January. Now it does. I'm using logic here when deciding what is safe and what isn't. Nothing to do with being on my high horse.

Yup, last year it was useless. We all got flu B strain, which was severe af this past year. The flu vaccine isnt 100% effective, unfortunately. It is what it is.
I have kids. Giving them an extra % of protection makes sense to me, given the alternative.
Do you have kids? Do you get them vaccinated?

COVID-19 is now the leading cause of death in the United States
The new coronavirus was responsible for the deaths of 1,970 people on April 7.
No, the coronavirus is not the leading cause of death in the US, CDC says
Even though the coronavirus pandemic continues to take lives across the United States, Covid-19 has not become the leading cause of death in the nation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to CNN.

I’m not eating out. It’s important to cook diverse things though because you can easily get tired of eating the same food.

pulled up a simple stat via google to just show how ridiculously ignorant comparing covid deaths to deaths from driving was:
More than 38,000 people die every year in crashes on U.S. roadways. The U.S. trafficfatality rate is 12.4 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.
So the fatality rate is about .0000124? I think you're smart enough to know that's better than the average deaths from covid, right?
I'll take a .0000124% chance of death vs 3.5% chance of death every day of the week. Granted, we're unsure who has it since the documented cases are just that, documented.

I know. You said that in your last post.
I was just sharing my perspective. I'm personally not chancing it, but I know folks are eating our regularly and if they can do so unscathed, god speed.

absolutely. Good luck to everyone who can eat out.
I absolutely want to know for a fact, you can't catch any type of flu from eating out. Every year, around flu season, I try to cut eating out as much as possible because I don't want to get the flu. It would be a huge relief if its confirmed flu cant be transmitted through sick people handling said food. But then again, i probably would be stubborn and still not eat out because logically, it doesn't seem right.
