I for the longest time assumed flu season was in the middle of October...or even early November. Alright fine maybe EVEN December. BUT NOT JANUARY. I mean with the H1N1 hype (don't get me wrong, it's a serious thing, just handled poorly in my opinion) and over-obsessed newly-found "germophobes" doing ANYTHING to keep clean. I'm pretty sure the handsanitizer industry was benefitting greatly. AND even with children and teenagers downing the stuff, purely for their major amounts of almost lethal levels of alcohol. I was SO sure that flu season was over.
Well I have news. It's not. It's still here, or rather it's back.
It's FLU SEASON TWO: revenge of the common cold. Soon to come to a public place near you.
So remember...sneeze...politely (into the elbow...back of the knee....you know..). PLEASE cough into that same bodily pocket that you used for your sneezes, but HEAVEN FORBID, you sickies ACTUALLY stay home, and stop contaminating US!
Nah, i totally understand that approach to illness, why bother sitting around at home, when you can simply go about your life and do everything normally, just extremely hyped up on...advil, tylonal, strepsils. So with all these medications to mask the fact that you have fever of 40 degrees celcius, and are extremely contagious, there is no doubt that people should not stop their lives for the common flu virus. BE STRONG PEOPLE!
Now, Readers, i totally understand your thinking. "THAT'S GROSS! STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK!!!". Please, we've all done it. We've all gone out to work, school, a party too ill to even think, but we still go. So, illness is inevitable, but it's up to you how you feel about it.
My diagnosis this flu season repeat: stock up on your advils, tylenols, strepsils, and whatnot. Just besure to not let it get the best of you.
Signing Off,
DG
