(HI!!)
It's late, I'm tired and I'm not sure if I read the post you pinged us to properly - so it is best I don't comment until I can read it properly - in the morning :) That's why I'm speechless.
It is surprising, isn't it?
SARS, by strong measures, was stopped...
Last winter, though, in addition to Hub and I getting the flu, after not having it for literally years, we both did.
Mine was mild, but he got pneumonia after nearly being done with the flu...he's well now, but that was really a surprise to both of us.
I can't tell you how many people I've known who've had the flu this past year, and really bad cases of it--and it seems to really hang on, and on...
I am NOT looking forward to a worse flu than this past year was, that's for sure...
