> The flu is fun because if you are infected with 2 strains at the same time, the virus genomes mix every which way to see which combination works the best against you.
Ugh, that's not good. Especially as someone who recently had both Flu A then Flu B a few days later. :( :( :(
Is there more info about that mixing of strains anywhere, as when I was searching for stuff online about that ~2 weeks ago nothing showed up.

I had flu A one month ago and my daughter had flu B recently (she's had the nose vaccine and had a very mild symptoms). My daughter infected my wife, who also got flu B but I did not get it at all.
It's the same with almost every kind of infection so far (except covid, but even with covid we all got very different symptoms) -- and I'm grateful for it, because all of us being sick at the same time would make it much worse overall.
I read that we are attracted to people who have different imune systems than our own.
