If you’re sick....stay home!!
“If you’re sick....stay home!!”
Exactly! There is NO CURE. Stay home, rest, take Tylenol or NSAIDs, and drink lots of fluids.
I work in an ER and we have been overrun for 3 weeks by flu victims who are on Medicaid so their ER visits are FREE. Most of them are healthy enough that they will easily survive (after all, they get free healthcare, housing, food, and don’t have to work so they get plenty of rest when they aren’t smoking meth or weed) but they come to the ER because they are mindlessly programmed to do so and they spread the virus indiscriminately to everyone they encounter.
Of course, we also see elderly flu victims who are very sick and many are hospitalized. This is the nastiest, most widespread strain I have seen since the epidemic of 2004-05. It is an H2N3 virus and this years’ vaccine formulation has been estimated at about 32% effective. That’s still better than 0%!
“If you’re sick....stay home!!”
That bears repeating, MANY, MANY TIMES !!!!
It’s as if those that are miserable WANT and take PLEASURE in sharing with the world.
About 3 days before Christmas, I was standing in line at the local grocery store addressing a “honey, would you go to the store for me” run and this beyond sick woman walks up behind me with chips and a six-pack. She was warmed over death barely standing on 2 feet - coughing, hackin’, snifflin’ the snot back up her nose, mouth breathin’ with half-circles under her eyes.
I exploded and it was not pretty. I asked, really? REALLY?? 3 days before Christmas and you are in public in this shape ?! How many peoples holidays is this one, inconsiderate store trip of yours going to ruin ? Did you even think of that? Do you care ? Of course, no reply. I dropped my pecans and gallon of milk at the counter. Made a hasty dash to put distance between her and me. Glancing back I noticed folks moving away from her in line giving her the evil eye . . . I mean it, some humans do not deserve to draw breath.
Ok / rant off.
