Now we’re in the “you do you” era and seeing an aggressive and early start to flu season.
Three children in Ottawa have died.
Wear a mask, ideally an N95. Get your vaccines. Clean the air. Stay home when sick:

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
Setting up dialysis machines - specifically the Althin Tina 1000 and the Baxter Gambro Phoenix.
I suppose there is a world in which I use these skills again, but for now, I will exclusively do it in anxiety-related dreams.

When I was a security guard 40+ years ago, a number of posts had manual elevators. I got very good at getting the elevator to line up perfectly with the floor at which I wanted to exist.

Remember:
when they ask
“People who rarely get sick,
what’s your secret?”
they do not want to hear
about the kind of mask you wear,
the activities you refrain from,
or the precautions you take,
they want to know your secret
because they can’t imagine
doing what they know you do.
