Who knows? California should be ground zero for this virus but it is eerily quiet to date

I've been "advised" every year to get the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine and I've never, ever taken it, although my wife and children do get it every year.
Also, the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine is only about 45% effective and in some years, it's quite a bit lower.
I think the idea of exposure and immunity sound fantastic in theory but it's also just as difficult for me to believe that to be true.
