Had a friend’s Dad die (he was only 60!) last week due to flu complications, and then he ended up with a massive heart attack - not sure which came first, but still. A very sad situation all the way around.
You won’t catch me anywhere near a Mall or a movie theater or any place public outside of my usual rounds for a while. I’m really not looking forward to seeing my Dad at Assisted Living this upcoming week. It’s supposed to snow, so I can use that as an excuse - already caught onehelluva head cold from that place. Germ-laden Old Folks! ;)
No, Thanks!

If Americans were not VAIN, people would be wearing Masks and elimination 75% of the problem.

Maybe it is because we only thought it was a cold.

Didn’t they tell us that the flu shot was only 10% effective this year? It discouraged me from getting the shot.

You never saw the Lone Ranger with the flu. Or the Phantom of the Opera, for that matter.

I’m glad I’m working out on the ranch, rarely speak to more than 2 people indoors a day, and outside the wind is always blowing.
To: Chickensoup
I’m considering it; we’ll see what the weather brings this week. A BIG snowfall might buy me some time! ;)

There weren't any antibiotics and humanity survived the Black Death.
Of course a third of the population died.

I was SICK a few weeks ago with flu and my wife also. Both of us had flu shots late September and both got the flu late November. It took me almost three weeks to get over it.

My wife and I got it, and two months later got the flu. I wouldn’t get it now.

“annual flu shots are recommended for everyone age 6 months or older.”
An informative bit of information to provide would be:
Does the current vaccine cover H3N2 variant ??

Thanks. Sounds horrible this year. In Alabama, we’ve recently had a 3rd grade girl die from it. We’ve also had a university professor and a dentist die from it.
