Everyone that will be over 3 months pregnant during the flu season needs a flu shot, not to mention children under the age of 7 and the elderly!

Jennifer, your period may be late because you are getting the flu...
Anyway, the flu isn't any worse this year than it has been in the past. Every flu strand is different from the other, that is why flu shots are pointless. Not to mention very dangerous.
The only reason there are more confirmed cases of the flu this year is because there is now a place that actually keeps track of flu cases, severity and death. They have been around for ten years, but the only cases they know of are the people who go to the doctor or the hospital. I get the flu almost every year and I have never gone to the doctor for it. They cannot do anything. So, really no more people have gotten it or died from it this year, than from any other. The news people are just struggling for stories! But I still hope none of you get it, because the flu sucks!
But if you do get it, just stay in bed and drink plenty of fluids.

Yeah drink plenty of fluids, drink hot tea and maybe have a vaporizor. I read at my doctor, do not take anitbiotics, only medicine, because anitibiotics do not get rid of viruses. So try to keep safe!

Hey glitter! Im keepin safe! I try not touchin much and keepin away from people. But I usually get sick after everything is over! Lol im a late one on that!
