Is the flu worse than before? How quickly can I be reinfected? Influenza expert Ian Barr answers readers’ questions

Examine, a weekly newsletter covering the latest developments in science, is sent every Tuesday. Below is an excerpt –Rewind a year and things at the region’s leading research centre for influenza couldn’t have been more different.

Given the low prevalence of the flu in 2020 and 2021, was it more difficult to decide which flu strains to recommend for inclusion in this year’s flu vaccine? - Jackie I think it will peak early, but I also think it will be a prolonged season that drags out. This has been the case in previous big seasons, such as 2017 and 2019.

I tested positive for influenza two days ago and had symptoms the day before that. My symptoms are mild . How long should I isolate for? - Finn It’s a personal choice, for sure. But some people are more affected by influenza; not everybody has mild responses to it. A number of people end up in hospital and a number of people die. If you’re aged six months to five years, if you’re over 65, if you’re pregnant, if you’re a Torres Strait Islander or Aboriginal, you should definitely consider it.

Like a 4 to 5 week flu this flu is- as heavy as any flu I've had- so not a nice one- be careful hey.

'If there's a recruit how quickly can I be defected off shore and do the other bore', that if there's 'disinfected' it is shipping that shouldn't be permitted, there in a proof-read, the ugly of corruption. Has some radar tracking, flicks, stops when I read it that way.

Surprised incompetent Dan and CHO haven’t locked us down because of flu that is more deadly than COVID.
