During a recent 5 hour visit to the Emergency Room (wife having cardiac problems), I saw these people with these symptoms. They were speedily admitted while heart patients waited. The ER doc said they were OD patients (about 1 in every 5 according to him) and they get priority or else they croak (as they sometimes do). He said they lost two the other night within minutes of each other. I had NO idea the problem was that bad here (NW Arkansas).

However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest flu circulating this season is any worse than previous bouts.


buried in the article, but few got past the headline.................

I saw that line, but it would spoil the fun to include it.

> I use to pay for that............ <

I was always way too smart and sophisticated to drink tequila (ha). But one day in my younger years I was at a bar with a friend. His favorite drink was ouzo, which I had never tried. He bought himself and me one. And then another. And then another.

That was 30 years ago. I still have the hangover. And I have yet to forgive my so-called friend.

>>Jay, another user, described feeling like “death warmed up”, while Cath said the illness has left her with a “brain like porridge”.

Possibly Cath performed an autopsy on herself?

I always get my medical information from The Sun and the British Medical Journal.

“New ‘super flu’ leaves sufferers with ‘brains like porridge’”

In other words, they engineered a virus that can turn normal, healthy adults into Democrats.

Maybe it's an ordinary flu that simply seems much worse to those whose immune systems have been crippled by repeated mRNA shots. It hits them much harder and takes much longer to get over.

We should shelter in place and wear masks indoors and outdoor and get as many vaccinations if they have...NOT.

Morning after splitting a bottle of ouzo straight from the freezer with a friend was bad. As well as mid way through the night sticking my head out my bedroom window (was in highschool at the time) to puke into the gutter as there wasn’t time (or ability) to make it to the bathroom. Yeah, pretty much swore off ouzo since then and even the smell of licorice will make me queazy.
