I very rarely get it. I do take the shot every year. I last had it about 7 or 8 years ago and it only lasted a couple of days.

At 75, I�m pretty healthy but have had dang near everything including polio when I was about 7 years old.

Didn�t know about it generally originating in China but recall a strain a couple of years ago called the Hong Kong flu.

Good to know about avoiding buffets but it certainly makes sense.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
