Had a friend’s Dad die (he was only 60!) last week due to flu complications, and then he ended up with a massive heart attack - not sure which came first, but still. A very sad situation all the way around.
You won’t catch me anywhere near a Mall or a movie theater or any place public outside of my usual rounds for a while. I’m really not looking forward to seeing my Dad at Assisted Living this upcoming week. It’s supposed to snow, so I can use that as an excuse - already caught onehelluva head cold from that place. Germ-laden Old Folks! ;)
No, Thanks!
When I am at the hospital I am masked.
It wasn’t the flu.
It was fake flu like.
Likely the man was already in poor health. They die first.
Flu vaccine only works 10% of the time.
If you had 10 vaccinations over the years, it only addressed ONE flu virus.
My little granddaughter got it, then passed it on to daughter and SIL. Her brother didn’t get it. They are OK now, but I stayed away from them for two weeks.
Wife and I are in mid-60s and caught what appered to be a bad cold that took a couple weeks to get over (still not 100% right even though i don’t feel sick) but have one friend who got the Flu and spent 2 days in hospital because they thought he was having heart problems. Another friend was fine and dandy when I saw him and 3 days later was in ICU and intubated for 3 days. Now breathing on his own but still in ICU. Been trying to avoid places with lots of people all through the season.
I’m so sorry to hear that! A friends husband had the same thing happen. Complications from the flu, pneumonia caused his heart to fail in the hospital. Mid 50’s. Wear a mask. It may feel odd, but it will help. Like yourself, I’m not going anywhere in public except the grocery store.
