[Nomad]

Been hearing many folks are . Wednesday we went to watch our grandson  1-9 pm, and half way through it came out of nowhere ,chills , aches , low grade fever , I hunkered down in the spare room and let my wife continue on . Next day a bit of an improvement, still trouble sleeping and no appetite through last night .

We have been lucky up to this point. My MIL has been in the hospital for the last three weeks. So daily visits there. I also work in a large public school district. Been illness all around me, but so far, so good.

I drink plenty of fruit juices throughout the winter. Not sure if it helps, but I think it does.

Hope ya feel better soon Larry.

Not too late to get your flu shot

[Splitear]

COVID tore up the SHOT Show, I've heard from so many folks who had anywhere from pretty severe symptoms (my roommate being one and is still dealing with a persistant cough) to just stuffy noses (like I had). A few of the folks said they tested positive. I brought it home to my girls and wife. The girls just had mild cold symptoms like me. My wife dealt with aches for a few days and decided to test last Friday (which came back positive). Fortunately we're all in good shape now. 

I hope everyone can dodge it, and if they can't, I hope for mild and quick symptoms!

Anytime,I feel a head cold coming on,I take 2/Echinacea. Always works for me.

I take Airborne. Placebo is a hell of a drug!

Neither are two of my staff who have missed a week of work due to the flu.  Not getting the shot is a calculated risk ( i didn't get it; neither did these two employees).  But, pretending that it doesn't at least reduce the severity of symptoms is just uninformed.

The only risk I see is getting the actual shot. Unless the flu can potentially kill you, there's no upside to getting it. That's my opinion and you're entitled to yours.

Wife and I got the flu shot late fall of 2016. Very 1st flu shot for either of us.

I was in the hospital for part of January into February with double pneumonia and a blood clot in my lung.  Wife wasn't as bad, but missed 2 weeks of work.  

I'll pass.
