Yep, I got it right before Christmas. Two days of fever and feeling rundown, then the never-ending cough. Thankfully it’s finally starting to clear out.

I’m not sure I ever heard them tell us it was going to be a mild Flu season - every year seems to be the same warnings, the same ineffectiveness of the vaccine and on to the same next season.

A sinus infection is not "the flu".

Neither is a cold.

People expecting that they get the shot and be in perfect health are expecting something that is impossible.

I thought I was safe after getting my flu shot in November. It either came from my wife or son, but I’ve got it now. Doctor says I can’t return to work for 3 more days. Damn meds make me jittery, hard to type without making mistakes.

Wasn’t it a foregone conclusion that this year’s flu season was going to be a bear?

Just wait until next year's hurricane season.
