The same thing is happening here in SoCal as well. I know so many people who have it, and possibly someone in my house coming down with it tonight. It’s not fun but it’s not that bad.
With about 1000 mg of Vitamic C and 2000 units of Vitamin D a day, plus some zinc lozenges daily, the flu’s duration will be shortened, without the nausea of Tamiflu.
There can be a couple of bad nights with coughing and breathing plagued, and fever is not fun, but during the day, rest mixed with TV watching gets them through.
Everyone I talk to all day long either just had it, has a kid who has it, or is talking about someone else who has it. It’s ALL OVER here. No one is deathly ill. Most people seem well but weak after 3 days.
My daughters have one friend who has missed 2 weeks of school, and another friend who has had 104 fever for about 5 days. That doesn’t sound so mild to me. Others have had it worse.
