We finally have a flu outbreak here. It's rather nasty--the type A flu. People develop symptoms in a few hours and then they're toast. The area schools are shutting down because it's so bad.
Remember to wash your hands like crazy and if need be, wear a mask.

Kids are starting to drop like flies in the schools around here, too.

I had it. I was fine at 4 and by 630 I had fever and chills. Truly no warning. That was 2 weeks ago, i'm fine now.

Flybye, I'm hoping that my sinus rinse thingy will keep the bugs away, lol. Do you think you'll escape the flu using yours?
Mimi, glad you are ok. How long did it take to get over yours?
I've never had the flu. I've never had the chicken pox. But I have been hit by lightning.

I had the same flu. It was awful. In bed for 5 days, completely better about 4 days later.

Pardon the awful pun, but that is just shocking! All three of those statements but especially the last! Originally Posted by sundial

I wish my students would start dropping like flies. Especially if I get to choose which ones.... Originally Posted by Flybye

I've got it myself...called in to work, no bike commuting per gf for the next few days! Bummer!
Funny thing is that I got a flu shot, but the flu shot doesn't completely eliminate your chances of not getting sick.
