Ew. I hate that. I hope you chose wisely! :)
Yep, swept thru this area of Texas pretty bad, especially during Christmas... Funny thing, I was the only one out of 2 people that didn't get it. I still can't figure out why everyone wanted me to spend all day cooking a big Christmas dinner when they knew they couldn't keep it down. LOL. I kept joking with my buddy, "We better be careful, we're the only two that haven't puked in a 10 mile square radius of this place..." So even though I tried to remain upbeat and joking about it, it knocked me on my but in time to miss the New Years celebration.
THIS IS A GREAT FLU SITE It has some great tracking, and map info. Around Christmas it was reporting my state as purple, "epidemic". WARNING; this site uses flash animation.
