RE: UK Flu Theat this winter
We have been under siege for several weeks now.
10x the number of cases in our county than last year. 600+ opposed to the 60 from last year. Schools closed in some areas.
This strain seems to be targeting the older teens and adults rather than the old folks and children.
The vaccine was only partly effective this year but the medics are claiming that those that had the shot are only suffering a sniffle and low grade fever for a couple of days rather than full blown flu.
I had the shot and have had no problems so far but I have been limiting my contacts with the outside word severely.
Of course our bitter cold weather has helped me. I have only left the property a couple of times since before Christmas. When I do leave I try to stay out of crowds and it seems that others are doing the same, there are few crowds to avoid.
