Our household has had the coof twice, in March 2020, and again this summer. Second time around was a doozy, but other than that... uh, maybe two very mild colds made the rounds at our house betweentimes. Might've avoided all that, except my husband works in a hospital, so we get exposed to everything on the express schedule.
Re: Sickly season
Compared to previous years... same or better.
