“This bug that’s going around is a killer”
“I’ve lost a family member to this, and nearly lost a couple of older friends, and a few co-workers.”
“Don’t mess with this stuff”
Very sorry about your loss, had one last week myself. Could you possibly fill us in on what “this bug” and “this stuff” is, in terms of viral, bacterial, or other identification, so we might be more knowledgeable about this serious threat in our midst?
I want to say it’s “the flu”, but it’s like it’s no ordinary flu. People I know who have gotten it have progressed to pneumonia, or bronchitis and generally been messed up for months.
There’s a fellow at the office who’s been coughing miserably since Christmas.
Basically, if you come down with a respiratory bug, take it seriously.
