I had a rare moment of optimism this afternoon.
I'm normally more cynical than Edmund Blackadder on National Cynicism Day but I was thinking that maybe this year's flu season might not be as bad as feared.
It might be possible that the precautions which many millions of people are already taking against Covid-19 will also be effective against the annual flu bugs - washing hands regularly, not coughing/sneezing on each other, keeping a bit of social distance, not going to work if ill and so on.
Perhaps we should have been doing this for years...
