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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
