Hate it, but I'm not sure if it is true hate, or just because I'm not used to it.

It was an accident. I have disabled it again. I was trying to find out why I can't add smilies. I have submitted a request to the phpBB support team about that.

That's so cool! I saw something like that recently. Pretty sure it was someone different, though. It could have been on the last forum.

Record low flu cases this season. Obviously a multitude of reasons why. 1499 cases for the season(Sept-Feb) so far. Was 174,037 at this point last year. https://cdc.gov/flu/weekly/pastreports.htm

I guess social distancing and lockdowns prevent the flu from finding new targets.

And less traveling. I think Hawaii has confirmed about 6 cases, 0 on some islands.

Also too, face masks will be a great contributor in preventing the flu from spreading, especially on public transport.

A week ago last Thursday Mrs took a nasty fall in the driveway, and one good thing has come of it: she's eating again. She hasn't eaten more than a few hundred calories a day since Feb 2020. She's lost a lot of weight, and looks like a walking skeleton in the right light. She took that conk on the head, and within a few days was ravenous. She has breakfast, lunch, and dinner now, rather than just a couple crackers, a bit of cheese, and maybe an Ensure if I stand there watching her drink it. What a wonderful difference it has made to see her color come back. I am jazzed!

So glad to hear she's doing better and hope she maintains that weight.
