This flu ain't joking around

Who knows what future generations will discover. There was a time when anyone who questioned the wisdom of drilling holes in people’s skulls to let the bad spirits out were labeled heretics

 

Kind of interesting that these authors of this study that was determined to be fake news are still on staff with the Cleveland Clinic or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

Of note, it does sound like Dr. Gordon did offer clarifying information. Not sure if his comments were written or spoken but this news station reported on them.

 

flu-like symptoms doesn't mean you have/had flu
you really need to take one of those rapid antigen tests.

I felt good enough to drive up to Killington last night and skied all day today. Wish I had more energy but made the most of a day that saw the temperature go backwards and end up -10 at the peak by the end of the day.

IIRC I had it as a kid. Had it for a few days in April 2018. I only remember as i turned 50 while down and out. Has it again either 2020 or 2021 during covid. Never got tested then. Had a mild case of covid Fall of 23 and nothing bad since.

Glad youre on the mend Joe. Customers awaiting deliveries and lots of Jackson's to be made.
