Sounds like Southern California is experiencing epidemic of small proportions. Might want to get the flu shot ASAP. I got mine at Walgreens and have been lucky so far. I rarely get through the winter without a severe case of the flu.

I don't do the flu shot, I can count on one finger the number of times I've had the flu in my adult life (knock on wood).
I believe every single person at my job (department of about 40) had it at least once this season, whether or not they got the shot.
Flu is already widespread in CO.
I avoid the flu shot, most everyone I know that gets the shot gets sick.
CDC says this is the first time in history that the flu has been widespread in every state at the same time.
On top of the flu, colds have been very bad this year. Going around worse than any time I can remember. Everywhere.
FYI, Flu shot this year is said to be only 30% effective to the actual strain floating around.

My brother got the flu last Thursday... by Saturday, full blown pnuemonia... serious Drs care...4-6 weeks recovery time... another day or 2, he would have been on a ventilator for 2-4 weeks
Both my folks got the flu two weeks ago. They said it's the worst they've ever had. My dad got very close to calling an ambulance to take my mother in.
