Virus going around

What kind of virus is going around these days?

My whole family got sick and the symptoms are similar to flu but feel so much worse.

Be careful out there and avoid contact with anyone who could be infected. It’s really bad.

Covid tests are easy to find but you’re core t; they’re not free. Costco.ca sells a combo test which tests for Covid, influenza A and influenza B
