There's a lot of technical debt I've been trying to fix with

fixing the error messages so they make use of color syntax

to do it :-)
Another issue is I've had the flu for a while which makes me
tired, and then it's best to work on things that don't require
much mental energy.
(Yes, I got the flu shot, and the durned thing did not work.)
Afaik, the flu shot only covers those viruses that are arlready
known to scientists (which only makes sense). Since the darn
things keep mutating all the time, we have to deal with new
strains every year. So one could argue that the flu shots are
only of limited usefulness. Maybe a new strain attacked you, and
maybe, consciously or subconsciously, people who got the shot
behave more carelessly, (wrongly) assuming that they are immune
to the flu.
