Is it a flu type illness? I was encouraged because I don’t know one person who has had the flu this year.

My two daughters had the stomach flu (Seattle Area) just before Christmas break - but not too many (or none?) of their classmates did. Hit hard the first 24 hours, rested on the 2nd day and made it 1/2 day of school. But then it hit again but not too strong. Spent the next 3-4 days at home feeling lousy, vomiting rarely, not eating, but not real sick though either.

Yes, it’s a flu of some sort. Two in our neighborhood have come down with it and both turned into pneumonia. One was middle aged and the other older. Two or three in a nearby nursing home had it and two died. A friend’s teen had it right before Christmas and I’ve heard there’s others around with it. I imagine it will spread when everyone gets back from Christmas trips and the kids get back into school.
