Anyone else have it? I've had it since Saturday evening, worst flu I've ever had hands down. Temp got to 103.5 yesterday and I'm back up to 102.4 today. Hard to get out of bed most of the day. If you think you're getting sick get some tamiflu ASAP and try to avoid it. It's like the black plague.

just now getting over it, about two weeks of a cough. but it came on with a high fever and body aches. This is what I get for talking poo about flu shots...

I've heard the flu shot hasn't done a damn thing for this strain of flu.

was just at the doc the other day and the nurse asked me if i'd gotten the shot. I said no and she said no use in getting it this is the most useless shot in years.

 

Annual flu shots protect you from 6-10 different strains (I don't remember the exact number). Not every strain is the same, and at least half can mutate in each individual person it infects. The more people who are unprotected, the higher the likelihood of a strain mutating to a strain with no protection.

 

That isn't to say the WHO's recommended vaccinations are always remotely accurate (it wasn't this year) but if more people were protected against it, the strains would mutate a little slower.

I had it. Didn't ever take my temperature but woke up freezing and covered in sweat five straight nights starting Christmas. Went to the game Saturday and I'm just now feeling myself again

So you have the flu & still went & exposed yourself with close contact to thousands of people while standing around in cold, wet weather.

Moron.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
