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.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
