Have you ever had to ride in an ambulance because of the flu?
I havent personally but I’m confident that its happened before.
Someone tries to fight it off themselves and waits till its bad enough for an ambulance ride.
Lot's of people do. I've seen ICUs filled to capacity, and gurneys in the hallways in the ER due to so many flu patients, some of which arrived by ambulance. It happens every year. Of course that all changed in 2020 when flu deaths dropped to a statistical zero. They managed to all but cure the flu in 2020, but they couldn't find a cure for the COVID...go figure.
