Ditto.

This year's flu bug seems to be almost epidemic. *From what Mrs.E. tells me,
most of our family are sick, half the company's employee's are sick, several
of her friends at the horse joint are sick and the schools are half filled
with kids who have either recovered or haven't been sick yet.

I wouldn't know first hand. *I've holed myself up in a corner of the house

I got the shot earlier. As a caretaker of my 90 yo dad, we do
everything we can to keep from getting the flu which his doctor has
told him would almost certainly be a death sentence. My little one
went down, and I hid for a week too. When anyone gets any kind of
sniffle here, we go into lockdown mode, kids forced to wash hands
several times a day, all take zinc, vacume and filter room air, 24/7
to keep contaminates down. Pretty scarey stuff for guys like me and
dad with resiratory problems to start with...

My secret is to get a flu shot every year in October and never, ever
take anti-biotics.

I swear, over use of anti-biotics creates these situations.

Then again, I'm an alien so most Earth diseases don't affect me.

Did you hear about the colonoscopy place in Nevada that got shutdown for
reusing needles. Five cents a needle and the cheap ******* doctors who
owned the place were "cleaning" them and reusing them.

You're lucky. It seems they missed most of the flu viruses this year.

The way we are pumping our cattle with antibiotics, I don't think your
abstinence will make much of a difference.

Buy organic.

I've never heard of anyone dying because of the antibiotics in cattle, yet
it's a big deal now.

It wasn't the needle, it was the syringe.
