Dear Annie: As a 31-yearold female who is a sober alcoholic, I’d like to offer my advice to parents of alcoholics who put their foot down by telling their grown “children” to either stop drinking and using or leave the house. Good for you!

I’m Sick. You’re Sick. We’ve All Been Sick for a Year -- Here’s Why.

Body
In the past year my family has had COVID-19, the flu, strep throat, ear infections and many colds. This was even after we had our recommended flu and COVID19 vaccines. When I mentioned this fact, my doctor kindly reminded me that my flu vaccine was why I was sitting in her office and not at the hospital. Our vaccines helped see us through without complication even if they didn’t help prevent infection completely. I am writing this now with a box of tissues nearby thanks to my current cold. My son’s elementary school has definitely been ground zero for illnesses that keep sneaking into our home.
