Unfortunately, yes. The highs and fun times from the holiday season have faded away, and now everyone is sick. Seriously.

I have talked to about five people who have confirmed they have some kind of illness and/or flu. This just makes me want to spray hand sanitizer everywhere.

But now the Connecticut Department of Public Health is even commenting on our low immune systems right now.

Reports from the Department of Public Health show that about 450 people have tested positive for the flu. And it's only the beginning of the flu season, really. Not only that, but close to 200 people have even had to go to the hospital because of it.

But I guess Connecticut isn't the only one dealing with this. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the flu is going around in 36 states ... so majority of the nation then? Great.

I'm no doctor, but I'm just gonna avoid sick people as much as I can. Take my vitamins, get as much sleep as I can, and in general, just be very cautious (washing hands, touching things).

And this is kinda my philosophy, but don't stress over getting sick. Stress makes you sick! Again, not a doctor, just my personal opinion.
