How I've spent the last week, more or less.

This year's version of "what's going around" is wretched.  This is day 9.

The graph did not include "crawling on the floor begging anyone in the house to put you out of your misery and offering them money to do so"

Almost as bad as while doing that you realize that there is no one else home.

If you got what I had, you should be at least mobile again in a day or two.
3 days of fever, about 7 more days of weakness/soreness, and now about a week of hacking cough/runny nose. My son got it a week before I did, and he's still coughing...

Convinced me to get the flu shot from now on it did.

[Regolith]

This is one of the big benefits to being anti-social. You never catch "what's going around" because there's no one around to give it to you. 

[Monkeyleg]

According to our doctors, there is a lot of flu going around despite the flu shot. Apparently a different strain than the one the experts anticipated is going around- so, the flu shot this year may have done you no good.

My mother volunteers at the hospital, my brother is a cross country truck driver, my fiancee works retail and my job has  from the courts to in prison. I think I caught every strain this year. It just past week 3 and I've been cycling between 4 different colors of mucus.
