Surviving 1957 flu....

Glad you and I both made it.

Where would Free Republic be today without us?

Hey, watch the snickering and giggling, everybody.
It’ll hurt our feelings.

The Philippines have had in play for a few years, a method to monitor the body temperatures of people entering the country at airports.

Those with elevated temperatures are pulled to the side and isolated for medical evaluation and/or quarantine.

Mexico says they have a case too. It will spread very quickly now, hopefully it will fizzle out quickly too.

"I had the Asiatic Flu (that’s what we called it in NJ) in 1957 - I was 5 or 6 years old and was very sick."

I also had it in the same time frame and same age, and also had hallucinations, except mine were sounds. I still remember them! I was a pretty sick puppy. I remember lying on the sofa while our Dr came to check me out.

It’s amazing how much we remember about that flu, while being so sick, so many years ago! I still remember the odd feeling while hallucinating that I was falling, and the special taste of those lollipops!
