Either there are two strains of flu this year or one of them is simply a virus - not related to the flu.
This flu includes vomiting which is unusual for the strains we have had lately. Some people are saying they have the flu - saying things like it just started today, etc. If you have the flu, it is very doubtful that you would be able to stand upright for days, with the strain from this year.
In my house, four out of five of us had the flu. The one who didn't had a flu shot. I know that they say you a person who gets a shot with the "dead" virus, can't give it to others. However, I don't believe that. My husband got the shot and within ten days, the rest of us came down with the flu.
It's awful. I couldn't lift my head off of my pillow for three days...same for the other three in my home (my adult daughter and two younger). Three out of four of us had to visit the ER for fluids due to dehydration - my adult daughter had to go two times before it was over.
We have a no flu shot policy in my home, but my husband let himself be talked into it this year. He didn't tell us and we were wondering where the heck we got it from. We didn't know another person with it. When my husband did not get sick and we started questioning that, he owned up to having the shot. Our doctor then agreed we had the flu, but of course insisted we did not get it from my husband. This was end of October/early November before it was getting out there.
