Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I used to have the flu at least twice a year.
But I haven't had the flu or a cold for 15 years now.
It is also 15 years since I was tested Vitamin D deficient, and started taking 85 µg per day.
Are the 2 connected? IDK for sure, but it seems likely IMO.
Possibly, but people also tend to get the flu less often as they get older. There's a lot of different viruses around, but at some point your body will have seen enough of them to fight them more effectively.
I would expect that to be a gradual effect, for me it absolutely wasn't gradual. It was straight from getting the flu almost every time it was around, to never getting it for 15 years straight!
This is not "less often" it's straight from always to never.
