Flu Tips 2012

A lot of people are suffering from the flu. Here's some stuff I've found out while under: 1. They didn't guess the right flu for the flu shot this year. I got the shot but still caught the flu. 2. The doctor can actually do something about the flu. I was surprised, as I thought being a virus it was untreatable, but they apparently have antivirals. So far I've noticed an immediate improvement in myself and my wife. If you don't have insurance, it'll run you around $150 for the drugs and another $100 for urgent care. If you do have insurance, it's half that. The best time to get this treatment is a day or two in. 3. It's more contagious than I've ever seen - every single person in my household caught it, as did a few people who visited. Where a mask if you can if you're around anyone who's sick. 4. Symptoms - It'll start with a cough and feeling tired, then into a hacking, probably unproductive cough.
