I made it through the worst winter in over a decade only to come down with the flu this first week of spring. Go figure…
It’s been diagnosed as swine flu. Remember that? Of course, regular readers know how much I have pooh poohed the whole swine flu pandemic.
As it happens, my condition only proves what I’ve been asserting all along: that swine flu is more panic than pandemic. Because my symptoms are no different or more severe than they were last year, or any other year when I had the garden-variety seasonal flu.
Actually, I get the flu every year – vaccine or not. Back to bed….
