Season of flu

My family are down with a cold. We are the happier ones because this is just a light form without high fever and aches of joints. I have got only a cough, my husband has a runny nose, my son has got both and son-in-law is in bed with all this plus a fever. For an unknow reason I feel like eating all the time. I think I was supposed NOT to! :-)
In the towns people are ill and it spreads around. This flu epidemy comes every year in January/February. Schools are closed, visits to hospitals cancelled, even cinemas or theatres do not work. Whar is the worst place to catch a flu? Buses, trains, waiting rooms at the doctor´s and libraries. I myself must have caught it at work (library) from a naughty ill teacher, who kept caughing at me.
Fortunately the illness doesn´t spread via the internet, so YOU are safe!
