I spoke with myvFlight Surgeon yesterday,we discussed my 3 day flu stint.

I usually get 'sick" run a fever and sleep for 12 hours get up and am fine. This time it was a very bad 3 days and 7 days later I am just getting my energy back.

My doc informed me that in NM the emergency rooms and ICU are full half with people who had underlying conditions but the other half...

People like me who rarely get sick, the crazy thing is those of us who normally fight off sickness are the sickist.

He is in his late 70's and it is the "darnest" thing he has ever seen.

Just FYI

Phys Ed: Does Exercise Boost Immunity?

Two recent experiments hit rather close to home at this time of year. In the first, published last year in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, researchers divided mice into two groups. One rested comfortably in their cages. The other ran on little treadmills until they were exhausted. This continued for three days. The mice were then exposed to an influenza virus. After a few days, more of the mice who’d exhausted themselves running came down with the flu than the control mice. They also had more severe symptoms.
