Pope Francis has canceled an audience scheduled for Saturday as a precaution after coming down with mild flu, the Vatican press office said in a short statement, without adding further details.
Francis was scheduled to meet with Rome deacons in the morning.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said later Saturday that the pope’s weekly Sunday Angelus address was still to be confirmed, and that no further health updates were expected for the day.
Because in a sane society, if you’re sick you don’t power through and spread the illness.
You stay the fuck home, and everyone understands the courtesy of you not endangering everyone’s health over a mild inconvenience
