Wife and son spent most of the Christmas break leading up to the holiday fighting off something with a lot of the normal cold/flu/covid symptoms. Son had it first, and we home tested him twice for covid. Both tests negative. Wife eventually got it as well. I never got it, but I did think it sucked they had to spend their break that way.
This is the second time in three years for both of them. They both got the flu Christmas break of '19.
Edit: and both times my son brought it home from school. The flu in '19 a parent knowingly sent their kid to school with it. She vomited while sitting next to my son in class, and I'd assume that's when he got it.
