I've contracted (I never signed for it, why is it "contracted"?) the flu as an adult (over 30) twice or three times (not sure which)
Every time it started on Monday ... after Sunday church.
I’ve never had a shot of tequila and I don’t eat at Taco Bell
Well STOP SHARING the Communion Cups !
70, never gotten a flu shot...
You apparently have a strong immune system and are able to fight off the flues that you pick up in church. That’s good—lucky for you. But what about those that you infect while you’re sick?
Flu shots aren’t perfect and besides, most people overcome the flu just fine. Unfortunately, that’s not true for everyone in your church or community. You don’t get the shot for yourself, but rather to help those around you with less strong or compromised immune systems like infants, the elderly or perhaps those in chemo trying to recover from cancer.
You’ll live with or without a shot but if you get one you’re less likely to get sick and pass it on to someone who might die from a flu.
Is there anyone in your family, church or community who might be at risk if they get the flu? If so, get a shot for them.
Why, thus could be the start of a whole new thread, focusing on one of my pet peeves.
