[My wife and I have never had one. I’ve not gotten the flu in decades. My wife got it three years ago. It was a very hard four weeks. My brother got it at around the same time in Seattle (we’re in Kentucky). He had a flu shot. He also went to the hospital because of the seriousness (it was the same as my wife’s).
His lasted six weeks.]

Got the flu decades ago when I was full of vim and vigor. Laid low for a solid week. Aching muscles, the whole ball of wax. If I got it today, I’d probably end up in the ER.

My wife was 64 at the time. We just kept fluids in her.

My twin daughters and I all caught it their senior year of high school during winter finals. We all had our flu shots.

We got tamiflu but we were still sick for days.

I got it a few years later too. Spent most of Christmas binge watching Downtown Abbey. It was the worst Christmas! My son came home for college sick and gave it to me. He got pneumonia from it and had to drop a PE class for spring semester his senior year and it postponed his graduation.
