OT: Flu season is a$$ my dudes

[CoachEmUp64]

If they were really trying to hurt you, they wouldn't say a thing. Just chuckle in the locker room. Or try to manage a smile, anyway. I'm not sure how much chuckling you can do after a beatdown loss.

"Thump thump"? I'm used to that meaning something else entirely. Or maybe that was the point.

lol another name for it is "round ball"

Damn you clooooooooob!
Before this year, I've had the flu once.....5yrs old. And now....now I've got all the early symptoms for a 3rd go in under 2 months.
Don't know why exactly, but I blame you. Partly because my wife would kill me for blaming her or the kiddo.
Let's form a posse and locate patient zero! This is nuts.

I never get the flu nor do my family members. Must be something about those doublewide that wards it off? Perhaps the asbestos acts as a viral/bacterial barrier?

Man i know my little 4 year old got tje flu a couple of years ago and they prescribed her Tamiflu.....NEVER AGAIN!!! She had her mother and I so freaked out.....she had a wild look in her eyes.....tremors....and incoherent. She would throw it up within 30 minutes and she was back to normal (for a 4 year old with the flu) we gave it to her twice and the exact same reaction. Doctor said that was just "flu" symptoms. Well funny how both times she took it she threw it back up and she was back to her self. It was probably just an isolated incident with my child but i will never give Tamiflu to my kid again.

I would never give Tamiflu to a child either. Adverse reactions are rare, but they can be extremely serious. Same is true for adults, for that matter.

Just read where there are 3 separate flu strains going around this season which is why it's unusually vicious. Scientists have to guess the prior Feb what strain they think will be happening the following year for the flu shot vaccine and they completely whiffed this year. A couple more mutations and you have a global pandemic on your hands where millions could die before they could make a vaccine. The name flu is normalized but it's no joke (tens of thousands in this country will die this year from it).

We are 10 years away from some super flu virus that basically turns your organs into liquid sh!t. Should be fun.

They tell me Mayfield had all 3 strains the week leading up to the Georgia game, if only he could have been 100%.

Isn't that called Ebola?

Evidence for the efficacy of flu vaccine is quite small. See the Cochrane Collaboration's analysis. Increasing evidence that past flu vaccines actually make you MORE susceptible.
