- Me: Two weeks of this crud. I wouldn’t call it the flu. There’s too much snot for the flu. It’s a cold with a fever and a sore throat. I didn’t test positive for the flu. Gary and I both had stomach pains.
- The entire office: “Sure, I had a fever, and chills, and it was kind of a GI flu because I had really bad indigestion.” ‘It was more of a really bad cold.” “My throat was only sore for a day or two.” “I didn’t test positive for the flu.” “I didn’t test positive for the flu.” “I didn’t test positive for the flu.”
- Evidently the globe: Fever, coughing, sore throat, phlegm, congestion. It all sounds the same. I wonder if the “really bad cold that doesn’t test positive for the flu” is what you end up with if you got the flu vaccine.

Yup, 2 weeks of exhausting coughing, phlegm, runny nose, no energy, no appetite, muscle aches, headache, chills. Worst ever. Thanks, flu vaccine. (Even so, I’m not anti.)
Big Dot – That is strangely comforting to hear. The entire globe has had the same Christmas misery. Also, Surely no island nation would tolerate anti-vaxxers. Right? 15% of US Americans are anti-vax.
We got the flu shot but no Crud yet…
KC – Avoid crowds. And the dentist. And the mall. And the bakery. I got mine one of those places.
