Young kids in CT and DC are getting it in droves and 2 high schools in San Diego had it so badly 2 weeks ago that 40% of the student were out sick.

I don't buy the theory that this is a natural amd expected occurrence after people have been masking up for 2 years and their normal anti-bodies for the flu are down. That doesn't make sense for so many to be hit at one time and one month into the school hear and in high school students (not young students). There must be another factor.
