Default Who has the flu?

So the swine flu among others is ripping through the DC metro area.


Who here has had the swine flu or any other type?


4 people (myself included) have been sick with a 24-48 hour bug in the last week. No confirmation of specific pathogen.

1 person in our lab was out for 10 days with what sounds like swine flu. His wife is now sick and on anti-virals. He had the classic got sick for 48 hours, felt better than got worse and was sick for a week.

Kid on base has it. He bowls in our youth league. We've had a bunch of folks ill in my immediate area. Somehow I missed it as it went through my house.

I just got better from a flu. Got sick for a day and a half, poped some pills, felt better.

Then a day later got sick for 5 days straight. Today is the first day I actually left the house.

Been feeling bad all week, like on the verge of getting the flu. Zicam, Vitamin C, Echinacea, and rest have kept it at bay so far.
