We've all heard that this year's flu shot may not be effective. Do you have a lot of flu cases in your area? Our ER has been on patient overload the past few weeks. One of the local charter schools has over 100 students and teachers out with the flu. It is a small school, less than 300 total students. They are talking about closing early for the holiday break to keep more from getting sick and they will be able to sanitize the whole building. One of my coworkers has a daughter that attends this school and now she's out sick.
There doesn't seem to be as much of it this year yet. Thank God.
Last day of school is Friday. Hopefully Christmas break will help what we have.
I think every school should be sterilized at Christmas break.
Our teacher go through a whole lot of Lysol.

FWM - glad to hear that Aunt Stella is doing better. I will be sending healing thoughts her way for a continued recovery.
I don't remember the last time I had the flu. I got strep thought a lot until I had my tonsils out about 6 years ago. I have had sinus infections, bronchitis...but not the flu.
I have never had a flu shot. Ever.

I don't think I've ever had the real flu either. I never had the shot until this 2013 because it became required for those working in health care buildings. It was that, or a mask for 10 hrs a day. No thank you!

In the past 15 years, I've had the flu twice. The first time was when I was working in the doctor's office. That was miserable. The last time was in 2009, I got H1N1.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Coworker officially has the flu. I hope she stays out the rest of the week. We can get by without her. She's on vacation next week. We have already sprayed everything down with alcohol. Twice.
So CW who came up with a doctor's note Tuesday saying she had a communicable illness calls yesterday (Wed) and asks if she can come back to work today. Boss is on vacay so team leader told her nope, you are supposed to be sick and contagious, Dr. note says you may return Friday, see ya Friday. Turns out she may have been faking, she was mad because she wanted to come in late Monday and boss told her no so suddenly she was "sick". She doesn't have enough PDO hours to cover being out this week and being off all next week for vacation. I guess her little game blew up in her face.
