The CDC is saying to get the flu shot near the end of October, though. I can understand not getting it in July/August but now seems about as good a time as any.
It means they aren't following the reality of the reported period, which per ECDC doesn't even start before mid-November.
I always vote for the dumbest option if the answers are terribly biased.
It's always a possibility but there's usually time to get the shot if a dangerous strain breaks out.
Mine was for a week. Considering part of my job is putting 30+-pound boxes on skids, it sucked, but I know getting the flu sucks MUCH more.
What. Influenza is a disease that kills hundreds of thousands every year. If you don't like needles get the nose spray.
Interesting -- I was actually entirely unaware that there was a disease caused by the virus. Weird. I also haven't heard about a nose spray option. I'll look into it.
Also, what do you think a disease is?
I just thought of it as a virus/sickness. It seems so innocuous. It feels weird to put it at the same level as cancer or something that is incurable. It goes away in a week.
Sickness is caused by disease I don't know how you never learned that. It's easily treatable but due to the nature of viruses it's not really possible to kill something that isn't alive.
