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.
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.
Cdc non stop State of Fear spin
is beyond ridiculous and reckless .
This Dem ops operation has ZERO credibility .
It’s winter.
People get colds.
Cool..looking forward to the mask monkeys while pointing and laughing..
Covid, RSV, influenza and norovirus were all here last year too.
Nothing has changed.
Greedy Pharmaceutical companies just trying to scare people because no one trusts them anymore.
Screw them.
They played with lives for money and lost.

Why does this kind of stuff ALWAYS happen when dems are in charge? Dems=EVIL
Pneumonia already got several of my family members. I mean they got it for a week, not that it killed them.
big deal- just getting over influenza a- a whopper of a flu BUT perfectly survivable- several miserable days- but on the mend now-
it was around 84 that i had a really bad flu too- that one sent me to hospital struggling to breathe- got some meds- and slowly got over it
Oh, noes.
I am so scared......
UPI?
I pretty much do the Vitamin D hammer whenever I get something viral and I take a lot of Vit D (plus K) on a regular basis.
People with low Vit D levels did not fare well with COVID.
Vitamin D for Influenza
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4463890/
From link:
The Institute of Medicine recommendation for adults younger than 70 years of age is 600 IU of vitamin D daily. We are told that this would achieve a level of 50 nmol/L in greater than 97.5% of individuals.6 Regrettably, a statistical error has resulted in erroneous recommendations by the Institute of Medicine leading to this conclusion and it might actually take 8800 IU of vitamin D to achieve this level in 97.5% of the population.7 This is a serious public health blunder.
A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar.
