I knew a lady who died of a virus, age 42. If you are sick, don't exercise.

This lady knew she had a virus infection of some kind. But she was a runner. She was very thin like Silver, with hardly any body fat. She kept running. On day three of the illness, while running, she collapsed and an ambulance was called to take her to the hospital. She went into a coma and died a few days later. The diagnosis was she had a virus and because she was so thin, her body didn't have the reserves to fight off the infection.

I mention this story because people don't think a virus can kill them. Yes it can. It isn't about being old or young or in ill health, and so those groups of people are the only groups in danger with respect to the viral infections. It is about being smart and sensible and recognizing that the body has limitations because any age group can die if one is not smart and sensible.

And don't forget to get your annual flu shot.
