The flu

[Jakob]

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.

Flu strain is a bit different, but not totally.  Supposedly, if you had the shot, you can still get the flu, but it won't be as severe

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.

[Hotsauce]

I had the shot this year.

I contracted the flu yesterday so yeah, it was a dud

[Cat]

Worked for mu family so far

Lol

I've talked poo about the flu shot for a while, still haven't wasted my money on it and guess what?

I feel great.

[Lumps]

Uh, what I meant was, I'm sorry you're sick and I hope you feel better.

[Chimera]

No flu here.

Finally getting my voice back from the game on Saturday, though so that's good.

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

The flu shot would kill me. Guess I'll have to keep my immune system healthy by not going around people and keeping my hands out of my face.

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

Moron.
