So you're in the know. Please pray for everyone involved, and that this passes quickly and that people are healed.

I think I had that in December.

Amen. There was a thread a while back that folks taking Vitamin D are less susceptible to flu bugs.

I am braced...my youngest just was off school Thursday and Friday. Fever, headache, lethargy, and vomiting. He was much better today (still looks pale to me and has not appetite to speak of). Have been cleaning bathrooms, kitchen counters, everything down w/clorox wipes...don’t want it to spread to anyone else.

I can’t say I had this, but it’s interesting. I hadn’t puked or even been sick in years, then came down with something and puked on New Year’s Eve (no, not from drinking). I figured the guy at Domino’s poisoned me...and that was a good pizza. :(

This same crap (no pun intended) has happened every year since I can remember. What the hell is the big deal? I guess without a pandemic, they need something to crow about.....

Hospitals in Northeast Ohio are full. May or may not be the same strain but sounds similar.

I’ve read that flu cases are 70% higher than this time last year in Houston. The hospitals and emergency rooms are full of flu cases in my city 3 hours west of Houston!

Is there a difference between “projectile vomiting” and “non-projectile vomiting”?

It does pass fairly quickly from the point of view of an unafflicted person, but it is beyond an eternity to the one suffering. Very vivid thoughts of “I wish I were dead” at least while you are coherent enough to put a sentence together. A trail of brown stuff as you crawl toward the bathroom... Anti-diarrheal medicine does nothing...And you don’t acquire resistance for the next episode.

Figured a map would be good about now :-)

Flu map is too large to post.

Remember, this article is about the U.K. not the U.S. (Though I myself am just getting over the flu. :) ) Peace All.

The virus - which causes projectile vomiting...

Are they sure it's not just Hillary's campaign speeches?

24 posts and no one has blamed global warming yet??

One area people overlook is prepared food. More now than ever get their food form a grocery store deli counter - for example premade potato salad. I think these types of items are a contributor to the more rapid spread of these types of illness. That and the news spreads so much faster over the net than in the “old” days when you would not hear about this story on the TV news or probably even in your local newspaper.

Never heard of this particular virus. Why does it hit England so hard?

[Pining_4_TX]

Why do I suspect that the epidemic in England is exacerbated by their crappy nationalized health care system?

Son, in London, says many out from his office there.....
