Influenza A is making the rounds here. The problem is that people wait 4-5 days before going to the doctor. If they went within a day or two, they can get Tamiflu which helps tremendously (or it did for me).
Now I just get the vaccine, mostly because it is free to us. I’ve noticed I get sick a lot less after getting the vaccine every Fall for 6 years.
Except it takes a week to get an appointment.
