Your text is essentially unreadable in the dark version of HAN.

Got my flu vaccine this year, so that should help. But this is the problem that the .gov is in with these types of outbreaks -- do a lot and the outbreak doesn't turn out to be that bad (or what the gov does helps prevent worsening of the outbreak, but the public doesn't realize that), and the government gets accused of fear-mongering and wasting money on prevention campaigns. Do very little and the outbreak is worse than expected, and get accused of not spending tax dollars appropriately and being unable to predict the future. It's basically a lose-lose proposition for the government/public health entities.
