The worst cold I ever had was in 84 and the worst flu was in 87.
I survived.
Flame away.
The worst I had was in ‘77.
I was sick for 3 weeks.
I am still here.
Covid was nothing compared to ‘77
What doesn’t kill, 6 others will.
We’ve got a dinner party at friend’s house and are leaving in 10 minutes. Should we cancel and hunker down? This is some scary stuff!
Flu season in the United States typically begins in the fall and lasts through the spring, with activity peaking between December and February
The CDC estimates that there have been at least 5.3 million illnesses, 63,000 hospitalizations, and 2,700 deaths from flu so far this season. Last year there were 470,000 hospitalizations and 28,000 deaths last year from the flu.
Maybe you should wear a mask when you visit. Gotta be safe.
Eye Roll.
I went to the Farmers Market this morning, met a friend for lunch and then went by a couple of local shops. I saw one mask the whole time, worn by a customer at the book store where I stopped in.
I had H1N1 (swine flu) in 2009. I survived.
For the past couple of days I’ve been bravely fighting a winter cold.
I deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom for this. And I’m being serious. Biden has awarded the medal for far less.
Part of Life
No flu-no cold -no virus since 1975 or 76.
We live in a time when diseases are a new thing. Never before experienced by mankind. What we need is more, ever more oppressive government, to save us.
Thank God for Government! These viruses are scary! SCARY I tell you!!! :)

Greedy Pharmaceutical companies just trying to scare people because no one trusts them anymore.

They played with lives for money and lost.
