Seriously..since the Flu does kill over what 25,000 people each year in the US please get the freaking flu shot and quit thinking you will not get it or that the CIA is injecting a Hallaburton/Monsanto mind control device into you.

My wife works in an ER and there are strains hospitalizing patients hard...here in SC a mega private school had to shut down and several other schools are on standby. The hospitals here are slammed full with influenza patients and it is considered an alltimer in recent memory.

If it is this promenent in Columbia, SC ya better believe it is in NC just as bad.

Go get a freaking shot... I think Target gives em for $25 in the Pharmacy.

No sense in being out two weeks bc your trying to outsmart yourself or just being lazy.

Your welcome bc I care.

No thanks. Haven't had the flu for 20 years and I really don't like getting injected with poo I don't need. Just my nature. I haven't known anyone with the flu bad enough to go to the doctor but I have personally witnessed someone have a horrible reaction to the shot.

Coincidence...maybe but again in not letting anyone from Target inject me with anything lol.

If I get sick or die due to the flu, it's ok, I accept that, I'm perfectly ok with it.

I think I read somewhere that the flu shot they are giving this year is for a different strand of the virus and is pretty much ineffective.

Flu season is well underway, and the CDC says the flu shot may not be offering as much protection as experts had hoped.

“So far this season, influenza A -- H3N2 viruses -- have been detected most frequently, and in almost all states,” said CDC Director Thomas Frieden, MD, MPH, in a telebriefing with reporters.

“Unfortunately about half of the viruses in cases that we’ve identified this season are different than the ones that are included in this year’svaccine. The vaccine won’t protect against these viruses.”

Flu shots are prepared with 3 strains of the flu based on epidemiological projections from up to a year prior. While the estimations are usually fairly accurate, they're really just guessing as to which strains will be the most common and the effectiveness of the vaccine can vary greatly from year to year.

And people want to know why health care costs are out of control:

* ER trips because your kid has the sniffles

* hospital beds filled with flu patients

Seriously? Here's some Zyrtec or Zycam or a Z-Pack or whatever. Gome home and rest.

Totally agree. More people should use their nurse hotline FIRST before going to the ER.

And as an aside, the ER still will mot turn anyone away no matter if they have no insurance.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
