horrible flu this season

Post by cook1947 »



Please take care with the current flu strain that is out there right now. 2 weeks ago, 6 of us went to Vail, Colorado for 10 days, and within 4 days, all 6 of us were very ill. 3 went into Strep throat, 2 into viral pneumonia and 1 working on both. Whatever this flu is, it is EXTREMELY contagious and antibiotics do not seem to have any effect. This is the first time I have gotten the flu in many years, but this is different. Please use wipes when you can and avoid this.

antibiotics wont effect flu as flu is a virus and antibiotics work on bacteria only

Royal, the doctor explained that the antibiotics were given to treat the other things that can come about, caused because your immune system is so comprimised. My point for the post, is that this flu is very aggressive and with all my poker friends being in the casinos, I hope that everyone might take extra precautions. It has now been 3 weeks and we are all still sick. Extreme fatigue, coughing, ear infections, etc. have been unrelenting. Maybe we were all just very unlucky and walked into some massive flu cloud or something, but I wish none of this on anyone. I am 64 years old and have never had a flu shot (I always felt a shot was the sure way to get the flu) and your point, it is a virus and antibiotics don't work on virus's, but right now I wished we would have considered it. Stay healthy, everyone.
