That is about all you can do. I thought i might be getting better but then i found my dead chicken.

I'm sorry Cap.

I am very happy that you recovered!

I keep reading about people in their 20s to 40s dying within three days from this flu.

I already posted the CDC recommendation to go get Tamaflu if you have the flu. Apparently you need to insist sometimes

I called my Dr. And asked for some.
He wanted me to come in and get tested!
How dumb is that! Go in and give a whole office full of folks the flu to get meds! He just wanted the dang ins!

We talked about it. BF likes the dog and doesn't want to give her up. She's okay most of the time. She oscillates between being Mary Poppins and Spawn of Satan. The SoS moments make me dogicidal. The MP moments are fine. I grew up with dogs around constantly. I was depressed when I moved out and didn't have any animals, so I got cats because I was apartment living and in school. Got used to cats over the last 20 years and their "lifestyle." Trying to get used to a dog is difficult.

They only get paid if they inspect you.

Our Governor declared out state a state of emergency over the flu epidemic here.
We have had 44 deaths due to the flu so far here. I did not want to spread it around and I did not want to get exposed to the second strain as well. Here in AL one man age 38 got both strains and died in 3 days.

A pandemic is long past due and when it happens next, with air travel and rapid movement globally, it will be major and impossible to stop once it's started. Gonna be very bad methinks...

I third the thoughts glad those have had it are well now

Thinking about it, If I have to go via disease, I'd much prefer it to be the flu in 3 days as opposed to cancer over months or years. Ideally I'll go in my sleep. Not that I'm a wimp mind you, I have a high pain tolerance, but would rather not put it to that test.
