You near a district that has closed down at anytime? I think two or three schools in NW Arkansas I can think of closed for like 2 days each.
No, just a bunch of sick people around!

I got the shot and so far have avoided it. Prayers sent for you.
To make it through the flu:
1. Hydrate with water/Gatorade.
2. Keep fever down with Tylenol and Advil alternating.
3. Don't get sedentary, get up and move every so often. Sedentary leads to mucus build up in your lungs aka pneumonia.
4. Rest.
5. Over the counter medicines like DayQuil/NyQuil are also awesome to substitute Tylenol and Advil with. Along with Mucinex.
That's how you will beat the flu.
Use hand sanitizer people! And wash those hands!!!!
If you have small children, make sure they have hand sanitizer in their backpacks.

Obviously you have gotten no smarter over the years - still stuck in the 5th grade I guess! I certainly hope that you and yours avoid this illness since so many across this country have lost their lives to it. I think that the count is 122 in Arkansas alone, men, women and yes - children.
So before you start calling sick people wimps, just remember that it could effect you and your community. There could also be good folks on this board who have lost loved ones!

Thanks! Been a slow process, now it is the stomach issue!
Obviously i was just poking fun because yes it's been a very serious issue across the nation flu shot or not.
Got it about a week ago and had it rough for about 4 days. I thought the Tamiflu they prescribed really helped shorten the symptoms
I see where more schools have closed!

Haven't had the flu in my house..... But my 6 year old has had 4 rounds of strep throat. They took her tonsils out and she seems like a whole new kid right now.
It is really bad this year. Prayers for everyone to stay well.
I see that schools are still closing and that the death toll is at 140 now - Prayers for these families!
Me, it took 3 weeks and finally back at 100% I saw in todays paper that the flu vaccine is only 25% effective, that seems pretty low to me.
Flu vaccine is a farce. It only protects you from one strain and there are several different strains you can get
Prayers sent for all those sick.
I think that it is finally winding down after claiming nearly 200 lives here in the state.
Sorry to disappoint you Cuckoo ------------ BUT OLE JACKETMAN SURVIVED! :)
Prayers sent my Cousins wife posted she got it again this morning.
I think the Flu is finally about done!
I hope so cause it was BAD this year.
Now it's time for the yellow flu!! :'(
