4. Sorry you went thru that. I've only had the flu 3-4

times, not fun and the worst was because I likely had 2 strains according to the nurse I spoke to.

It was upper respiratory mainly and she told me to sit in a bathtub with the shower on with the hottest water and steam I could stand for as long as possible. That helped, I made it thru ok, was 29 and in good shape which was in my favor. Now, it would be different.

Maybe I'll continue with masking if/when I get thru Covid, esp. in germ season. Many Asian people do this to help prevent the spread of cold, flu, whatever germs.

~ Take care and good health this year!

In 1976 I got the Swine Flu shot because my roommate was hepped on it. Mistake, she was fine but I was laid up with aches and fatigue for 3 days.

Decades later I learned that healthy, young US soldiers at bases who were given that shot also came down sick from it and some people got Guillaume Barre Syndrome. Years later I met a nice middle aged man who came down w GB from the shot.
