THIS is the **** ravaging our happy home

‘Super flu’ sees spike in US hospitalizations — here are the symptoms to look out for​

“This flu season is no joke. We are seeing more cases than we would expect for this time of year,” Dr. Amanda Kravitz, a pediatrician at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, told CBS Mornings.

But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill cold that you know and hate. H3N2 viruses often come with more severe symptoms compared to common respiratory infections.

tell me I'm nuts, there's evil afoot........... covid was just the beginning

the last 3 times I've been sick have been really bad, never used to be that way......

I can only hope the scumbags responsible rot in Hell, cause we're powerless against it

I had more sick days than ever this year.
Then had a mild case of what seemed just like Covid, but it lasted for 8 weeks just wouldn't go away.
I never missed work for that but every 2 or 3 days I just wanted to take a nap.
Doing stuff in the evening really tested my resolve.
Used to go years without missing a day of work (even when others had colds).
Probably a combination of older age and a world of nasty viruses.

One of the guys here at work got the flu around Thanksgiving and was pretty ill for 3 days.
He had this years flu shot.

Oh man I cought a bug in a hospital when my grand daughter was born, so bad a week later I woke up 3 AM couldnt breathe lungs full of crap, ran out to the shop in the snow and sucked on the O2 bottle awhile, probably would have layed there and died otherwise. Never been that sick before. I have a breathing regulator that fits welding 02 bottles now.

hospitals....... where we go to die

My wife (76) goes in for colon surgery on the 8th, I’m more worried about what she might catch in there for 5 days!

Like Sheldon Cooper said, " I don't want to go to the Hospital, There are sick people there"!

gotta see if my voltage is delayed or instant........ simple 12 v ....... and possibly bench test the solenoid...... hoping it isnt in the circuit board, I will report back

 

[eldubb440]

12V always instant....... took apart the solenoid, put it back together and it works every time........that's a win

if it continues to act up, I'll simply replace the solenoid.........it's an easy fix either way

did I mention I'm down 22 pounds?

 

[davek]

About time you posted a pic , eat a couple cheese steaks and you will get the 22 pds back my friend.

 

[RJ Squirrel]

22 lbs! Bikini season is just around the corner. Glad you are feeling better. I've had a sinus infection for 3 months. 3rd round of antibiotics now, along with steroids, seems to be working this time, at least the infection is draining.
