How do you know he's not already in bed? You know people have access to the internet other than a fricking desktop, right boomer?

Got it a few weeks ago. First time in over 20 years. Took a Zofluza and was back to100% 3 days later.

I don't know what I had back during the ice/cold, but it was rough and took over a week to get over fully. I ran a fever for three days, and when it broke I soaked the sheets from sweating. It was in my upper chest mostly, pain around my back, bad headache and sinus drainage, no stuffy nose, though. I took the garbage to the road, and it hurt to breathe. I started coughing halfway back and didn't think I was going to stop.

I don't think it was the flu. I didn't have the aches and other issues.

I got some Rona and flu a/b at home test kits so I can just call our pcp for meds if one of us pops positive again.


That’s actually a damn good idea. No point in exposing everyone at the doctors office to that crap, if you know exactly what you have!

I’m not quite at 100% at 3 Days but I’m close. And I too rarely get sick or specifically the Flu.

This is like time two or three in this century. And the other times I missed a total of one day with it.

This was the first time I had been sick in at least a decade. The last was a sinus infection that wasn't really much. I think I got clipped at Walmart a few days before the Winter storm.

I’m coming out the other side now but it wrecked about 6 or 7 days for me. Starting Wednesday of last week through Monday was hell.

Even though I stopped “feeling sick” for going on 3 days, I’ve still had significant congestion and coughing that I can’t really shake.

I don't know if I have the flu or not but the last three days kicked my arse. My temperature drops down when I get sick into the 96s and then will spike up into the 99s. Chest congestion, sinus pressure, sore throat, coughing, body aches from my legs up into my neck, a headache that lasted 3 freaking days, pressure behind my eyeballs. The coughing and sneezing was strong enough to make me feel bruised all along my ribcage. Today is better, not good but better, the first part of this week was nightmarish. I've been sleeping on the couch so that my wife has limited exposure. The dog woke me up at 4:30am on Tuesday licking her arse close to my head. Not a good way to be woken up.

It’s kicking my 11mo olds arse right now. I keep telling her to rub some dirt on it and pick herself up from her boot straps

Two weeks with that and then caught a respiratory virus that had me coughing for three weeks. Building up immune system box has been checked.
