My husband, who contracted pneumonia from this year's ugly type of flu just before Christmas, tested negative at home for the flu but positive in an ER several days later. His lungs are slowly recovering.
The treatment works best when started within 48 hours of symptom onset. Therefore, the CDC says treatment should not be withheld due to a negative test result if a person’s symptoms are consistent with the flu, especially if they are in a high risk group.

I wasn’t disinvited (last year, prior to that things are tricky). But I went from about 2 invites a month to 2-3 for the entire year.

Many people have not been invited at all. I’ve talked to a substantial number of Black speakers who have seen bookings plummet, who have been virtually frozen out from engaging in public talks on college campuses.
I'm trying to get a sense of how many (other) people were invited and then disinvited from US campuses last year. If you have a story to share, please dm. I will keep it confidential – just trying to figure out the scale of this.

As the great Suketu Mehta wrote in the accompanying essay, "By 1643, only nineteen years after the first Walloon settlers founded New Amsterdam, 18 languages were already being
spoken in the city—among a population of a mere 500." To hell with fictions of a homogenous past, linguistic & otherwise.
