1. Didn't you get the memo? We voted for vaccine-denialists and unreality...

If it IS the next pandemic, I nominate RFK Jr. to go personally investigate the effects of whole milk on transmissibility and viral potency of the pathogens.

2. It's probably one of the diseases endemic to the area.

A flare-up. That's far more likely than some new disease. "Flu-like" symptoms are common with many viral diseases.

So, we'll probably know after a bit which one has flared up.
