Was listening to a King James (only) Bible preacher - i.e., his congregation is mostly old people - he was saying that in December

about half the congregation was out with the flu.  And it was a nasty flu - ya know, the kind where coughing doesn't get rid of the yuk, and where breathing hurts. (Had something like that in the mid 90s...wasn't fun.)  He doesn't claim to be a doctor, but he suspects a covid type illness had made the rounds in his area.  Well evidently, the old people either went to the doctors / or drank old country remedies, went home drank lots of orange juice, stayed in bed for a few days, and got over it.

He lives and preaches in a moderately populated area.  Perhaps somebody in that town had gone to the airport to pick up a friend / cousin.  Perhaps that visitor had never been outside of the us - but while at the airport coffee-shop, someone (who doesn't look like he is from anywhere around here) sitting at the next table was reading a Mad magazine...and our visiting friend/kinsman flecked a droplet of coffee from his nose, then pulled out an extra $2 and some coins for the tip.
