I just got my flu shot at CVS.

Please, get your flu shots, my fellow DUers.

Some of you may recall that my FIL, an anti-vaxxer, did not get his flu shot last year.
He got the flu shortly before Christmas. It turned into pneumonia, and the virus also attacked his heart.
He died March 23rd of heart failure.

Now, there is the added risk of COVID.
Please, don't gamble with your life!

My chances of getting flu were already low. Now it’s even lower.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
