    Default The Flu is Coming!

    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.

    FIFY.

    BTW: flu shots have been available since late oct 17, if not earlier. Even with one there's no guarantee that strain will be effective against what ever is making the rounds.

    Pretty widely reported that the current flu shot is less than 30% effective...

    The flu shot is just making this worse every year.

    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.

    This ^^^^


    I've avoided Flu shots for the last 30 years, only had the Flu once...about 25 years ago. I'm in ambulances every day, you know, with sick messed up people in them all the time. The "experts" generally blow the vaccine guesswork every damn year, so it's pretty useless in my opinion. Wash your hands, keep sanitary wipes at work, in your car, and at home....and keep your hands away from your face unless you know your hands are sanitary, and avoid those ass hats coughing all over the place when they should have stayed home.

    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.
