Seasonal flu has increased globally in recent months, according to the World Health Organization. Here's what to know about flu symptoms, the flu vaccine and...
So i got the ‘flu-like’ illness because our doctors don’t know what the fuck it is, other than that it’s really nasty. It’s been two weeks and I’m still recovering from it. It took out 12 of my staff, which is the most of any illness that’s came through the area.
They say rates are low but it should still be taken very seriously. So if you show flu like symptoms but don’t test for Flu, Covid, Strep, or any other common illness then strap in cause it’s going to be a wild fucking ride.
I’d imagine many of us didn’t go in, my wife and I both got it and it lasted a little over a week for the worst symptoms. Never got bad enough to warrant going to a dr tho.
It sent me through a dangerously high fever, extreme chills, super high heart rate, extreme fatigue, ungodly amaunt of congestion and coughing. I should’ve gone to the hospital cause i collapsed on the floor last monday unable to move for 6 hours but I really like not being in debt so I just waited.

They would if the NIH and CDC were still funding good scientists.

That’s crazy, glad you’re okay, I never got a fever but was extremely congested, headaches constantly and never ending runny nose/cough/sneezing
It’s a virus. Literally nothing a doctor can do. The time to see a doctor about a virus is for the vaccine 3 months ago.
I’m not saying everyone that has a cold should go to the doctor, but there are antiviral drugs, and two specifically that are made to combat influenza infections.
Maybe don’t speak authoritatively on a subject you’re ignorant about.
Its definitely one of those things you’re told growing up
For a cold, maybe, but Tamiflu has been a thing for decades. There absolutely is something the doctor can do depending on what virus it is.
