The Flu is Coming!

....and hey, it looks like what I thought was a bad cold is actually the opening act of the flu. DAMMIT.

Please keep that on your side of the ravine.

I thought I had the flu yesterday, turned to be a rhinovirus (cold). I was getting scared as I just had a sinus surgery a few month ago. I am the proverbial canary in the coal mine. And 2017 was the most painful year of my existence.

Let's get a poll up to see how many people that read this thread, have already, or will contract the flu this season.

I'm 84.93% sure what ripped through our house was the flu.

BUT I don't want to test that belief by getting the actual flu if this wasn't it.

I'm required to get a flu shot at work. Either that or wear a mask until like May each year. Have not had the flu in about 5 years.

[OtterbatHellcat]

No shot, and Flu free.

And I'm sorry for those of you that have caught it.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm already dead, so this poll is irrelevant.

I lol'd at this pretty good.

I don't always get the shot. If I don't get it, it's usually only due to me being lazy not because of my principals.

But we have a new baby in the house this year so I made sure to get the shot as did everyone else in the house.

Wife got the shot and ended up getting VERY sick a couple months later. Our Dr diagnosed her with the flu based on her symptoms but she got a neg on the rapid test. Sent in for the lab test which ended up coming back neg too. Not sure what she had. But it sucked big time. There is some shit going around this year.
