It's that time of year: lots of people will be sick, and many won't know what sickness it is. It's a good idea to get tested, but even if you don't know what it is, *please* stay home as much as possible, get plenty of rest to help yourself recover, and wear masks if you have to go out while sick!

Below the headline is a photograph showing a woman in a black jacket, hat, and face mask kneeling on a grassy lawn next to a tree. She is wearing blue gloves and placing a photo of a woman at a makeshift memorial. A large white banner tied to the tree features a prominent red heart containing the name "Bui Thi Hiep" written in black. Smaller orange hearts decorate the bottom of the banner, next to bouquets of flowers on the ground.
