I do get allergies in the spring time, especially if I leave windows open.
I checked the CDC website, and the variant has not yet been publicly announced.
Also, I checked the California Dept of Health, since that State has been seriously affected.
The range of the flu seems to be California,
and then range from Texas through to Georgia, inclusive.
ExCUSE me!
Did they test your daughter for strep throat?
“”....scrubbed by professionals.”
Which I guess does not include the well paid and lavishly benefitted union cleaning staff. I would wager the so called professionals brought in are paid far less then the other professionals employed by the schools.
And we learned very early that vasccinations were the only way to protect a populace, so we developed extreme and strict vaccination rules and laws and we pretty much did away with smallpox, diptheria, polio etc., etc.
Until around 30 years ago when we were being invaded with unprotected people from God awful places that didn't know you use paper, not your left hand.
THAT is where it all started.
I'm a boomer with the moon crater booster mark on my shoulder to prove it, and I have never had the flu shot, but at almost 72, I'm just now sort'a gettin' over a flu two weeks running.
I've never really been sick in my adult life (until now) and when I was, my wife would baby and nurse me back to health and off I'd go to work again.
Shut down the borders and give our medicos a break and a chance to catch up.
my 5th bout of Bronchitis in 20 years,.
Don’t take the shot bro...
Sales of the Flu vaccines must be down below the average 45%.
Yes — negative for strep
The CDC and State DPH use “Influenza Like Illness” (ILI) as a surrogate for flu, but when proper diagnostics are done with a multichannel PCR up to 40% of cases have some other virus (paraflu, RSV, coronavirus, rhino/enterovirus).
It’s much too soon to tell.
We are a CDC reporting site, our flu patients have extra swabs processed to determine the exact strain.
We did see a flurry of positive flus in October but the more sensitive tests came back positive for rhino virus.
bttt!
So, from what’ you’re saying: us folks who’ve been around the block a few times have built up resistance to flus we’ve encountered. And if it’s a new variation, the vaccine probably won’t do any good.
Got my shot yesterday
My wife says she hopes to die soon, so that she can feel better. Going on six weeks near Baton Rouge.
Colloidal silver. Works on viruses.
that the vaccine is useless against, as usual.
“Do they EVER get the vaccine right?
It’s like throwing darts.”
It IS like throwing darts. They have to choose which flu type they expect up to two years before you get your shot, to account for production time for the huge amount of vaccine needed. They look at potential candidates, mostly in China, and guess which one will be a problem two years later. They can’t really wait until an outbreak of a specific type because by the time they can make enough vaccine for it, the outbreak is already finished. Since most strains of flu share some peptides, the best they can usually hope for is a partial immunity that reduces the severity of an infection.
