I’m in DrC and surprised to hear that we’re on alert. I know that toward the end of the year there’s what we call the seasonal flu due to the change of season. All my colleagues recently had flue and some family members but we all take it as seasonal flue but surprise to see that there’s a new disease with the same symptoms as them
