Flu - everywhere

[hollohas]

Man, flu is nuts this year. I had to send a sick employee home last Tuesday morning. Confirmed influenza A. Another on Wednesday. Then 3 more got it by Friday night. I felt extra fatigued and sore Saturday afternoon but had started pounding elderberry, zinc, C and D on Tuesday so all I needed was to go to bed early Sat, spend the day on the couch Sun and I felt good by Monday. Had two more employees call in Monday. That's like half the office with influenza A in a week. And we aren't in close quarters and clean/sanitize daily.

My oldest daughter came home not feeling well yesterday and woke up in bad shape today. She tested positive today for Flu A. (1st time she's missed school in many, many years). She and the other 4 of us are taking tamiflu now.

Kids at their school are dropping like flies.

This thing seems to be ULTRA contagious this year. May be worth calling your doctor to get some tamiflu on hand just in case.

Had something last week. It’s going around.
What are we to do? Live in fear?
I had it, dealt with it like I have in the past and moved forward.

What do you expect considering the last couple of years everybody has been a shut in because of WuFlu and when they were brave enough to venture out they kept their face buried in face diapers?
You have to exercise your immune system just like anything else.

Agreed. We weren't lockdowners, we barely ever wore masks and are purebloods. Even when schools were closed we made our kids play with other kids everyday. Then when public schools stayed closed we moved them to private school so they could attend in person. This is the 1st fever my 13 year old has had in 5-6 years. And we all had covid, virtually symptom free. We have solid immune systems.

That said, this seems to be spreading much worse than usual. I'm sure because the aforementioned severely weakened immune systems. So if anyone is worried about catching it and missing work or something, doesn't hurt to grab a $10 Rx of generic Tamiflu to have on hand just in case. The pharmacies are being worked hard and aren't exactly providing timely service when you need something urgently.

It couldnt possibly have anything to do with people taking an experimental poisonous substance now could it?

Interesting topic, something is going around at work, most co-workers vaccinated from the Rona. I?ve worked very closely with a few sick staff, I?m unvaccinated because I refused the Fed employee mandate, so we?ll see what happens.

My mom reached out to me via FB Messenger tonight and told me she'd heard in MO how bad CO is with all of the illnesses. Apparently it's making national news now.
