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.

 

http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/news/20141204/this-years-flu-vaccine-less-effective-than-hoped

 

 

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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
