[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 642386, member: 1963"] LDM, that's right. They screwed up this year! From 5% to 20% of the population is expected to get the flu this year and according to the CDC it is already widespread in much of the US. So far, they are not closing schools in my town, but are in many areas in the US. I rec'd a letter in the mail from my local hospital asking patients to NOT go to the ER with the flu unless suffering from a list of symptoms including high fever, difficulty breathing, etc, or if suffering from a list of concurrent illnesses, They are also saying they are anticipating a shortage of Tamiflu in some areas. I know in my case that if I get the bronchitis, it is bacterial and needs antibiotics, and I need inhalers and such for the difficulty breathing and codeine cough syrup so I can sleep. Other than that, it's just a case of getting over it, which takes time. My way of differentiating between a bad cold and the flu is body aches, high fever, and chest symptoms. [/QUOTE]
