Mrs.E. has been down for the count for the last 2 or 3 days. I was
getting very concerned that she had contacted the horrible flu that
has spread nationwide.

Almost took her to the ER last night but she insisted on just staying in
bed and resting. I am sure I didn't make her feel much better by
wearing a mask over my face whenever I went in to check up on her or
give her some water.

But, this morning she feels much, much better. Over the "sickies"
feeling. Sounds like it was more of a severe cold.

Sorry, but I am still wearing a mask. Went to CVS and bought a big box
of them.

This flu season has been the worst in nearly a decade according to the
NYTimes. Predictions are that it will soon bypass the 2014-2015 flu
season which was also particularly bad in terms of deaths and
hospitalizations.

Do you two get the 'flu shot'?
Free for everyone up here...they even let the pharmacist in your favourite drug store administer it.

Are the horses wearing masks? I understand it is bad if Mrs E is sick
but it will really get expensive if the horses come down with
something. ;-)

The problem is the flu shot did not work this year. It is 10-15%
effective.

The flu shot is not really helping. Wrong variety of flu this year.

Don't know about horses but I read that dogs can catch this strain of flu.
