There is a really nasty flu virus circulating in the Northwest right now. It can cause pneumonia and lasts for a couple weeks.

Two weeks? I had it for five, got over it a bit more than a month ago, and my lungs still ain’t right.

Hope to God that isn’t what I’ve been hit with. Had it for a week now. Still don’t feel that much better.

Yep, I’m in the middle of it and have been to the Doctors twice this week. Symptoms run the gammet of flu like aches, low grade fever, then moves on like a head cold or sinus infection, then down to the chest. One whopper of a virus, they had to change my meds and give me two types of cough medicine.

I had a house full yesterday and was cooking all day, I also refused to hold my new granddaughter, I didn’t want to make her sick. Now I’m totally exhausted...

Any flu virus can leave you with pneumonia, that is why doctors prescribe anti biotics when you go in with the flu virus. It is to prevent bacterial pneumonia.
