How is the flu anything like CDI? I don't just mean in intensity - vomiting and diarrhea are only rarely symptoms of the flu. It's really not a GI disease.

Unfortunately I feel fine. Certainly no better at cards than earlier anyway. Maybe next year I can catch the autisms and get rich in Vegas.

One of my co-workers died from the flu last march but not before spreading it to half the company including myself.
Had the flu a few times over the years but last years was maybe the sickest I've ever been in my life ... honestly felt like I was near death myself no exaggeration.

My employer's position on inclement weather is better than office health, physical or mental. Half the workplace could be ridden with Ebola, becoming zombies, etc., and they would definitely expect you to get your ass into the office. They see the silver lining as a form of get-out-of-jail-free surplus. Thinning the herd without taking any blame for it. BTW, I got a piece of mail the other day from BCBS stating the flu shot is covered and no cost to me for in-network. But what they fail to say is that your in-network doctor's office can charge you for the office visit $100, while the shot itself is free. The alternative is going to Costco or some pharmacy for the flu shot, but they will not charge an office fee they will damn sure charge you for the shot itself as the non-doctor==out-of-network. Nothing is for free and I've decided I want to pass on the flu bug to as many middle and upper management at my employer as I am allowed to. Here to sneezing, coughing and uncontrollably spitting my best at you.

Our flu shot is covered by universal healthcare. You can walk into any pharmacy that offers injection service to get it. Of course you can get it from your family doctor as well and there are also flue shot clinics setup for this.

I got mine extra early this year, less than a week after my HMO announced them. I HATE BEING SICK.

I will research this, but I am sure thus far that places I've gone into the past couple of years was selling the shot, not giving it away. Giving it away for free would be anit-capitalist, no?

Anit-capitalists are trampled by mobs of frothy-mouthed greed-inspired want-it-alls fleeing to the malls. That's 'Merica.

Hopefully Ford does not privatize health care, that was one of the things he said he wanted to do. Going to move to Quebec if that happens.
