>A clarification here: most of the cases have been the elderly or children
that's the usual stuff. Nothing really out of the ordinary epidemic episodes.
>however, I have heard a few people who were hospitalized that were considered heathy. Heck, an old friend wound up in a pretty sad state and he is a 19 year old who exercises regularly and likes to do various sporting events. (one of the 3 people I know who has gone to the hospital). Another strange thing is the strain of Influenza that I've head in a lot of these cases has been a Type B strain (including the people I know persoally), which isn't eve the main one that is eing freaked out/hyped this year.

considering that Type B is only transmitted between people, I guess they could have been infected by going to university or at work into the city. It's pretty easy whenever a sick person has to work in those conditions in order to not lose his job and pass the virus to others. It happens a lot and I don't think that people are strong to it. I've seen cases in which in matter of two or three days,they leave and then come as normal,not revitalized but I guess the feel better treatments help to go through the one week period.

>Interesting. In my country the flu is often a week long affair at least. Even many times among people who are heathy and don't get sick very easily.
It pretty much depends on the treatment and how your body can tolerate or react to the virus. Just a matter of luck and how to deal with it. There are little better moments and some worse ones.

Now that I think about it,you should watch Three's A Crowd while sick in the mobile. Not when you are completely fucked with the virus but when you are actually comfy on the bed through the mid period, watching a couple of cute slice of life episodes. One of those moments in which FiM made its actual job of feeling better and I still remember it fondly back in December 2014.
