To imply that a man is less masculine simply because he had a bad case of the flu is just plain crazy.
It wasn't until I got the flu that year that I knew I had never had the flu before. I had mistakenly thought that the bad colds I had gotten over the years prior to that were actually the flu. I, too, thought people were wimps! Once I had a true case of the flu, I knew that what I had had in the past couldn't have been the flu.
Before that year, I too, used to think that the flu went away in a day or two and that you could push through it. The actual flu was beyond all that. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Suddenly I had a 104 fever that lasted for days (NSAIDS brought it down a little, of course). My eyes were injected (all the whites were very red). The coughing, headache and congestion was non-stop. The exhaustion was in my bones. My appetite was non-existent. I lost several pounds in two weeks. All medicine did was make it easier to sleep. Nothing helped but time. The really bad symptoms (high fever and the need to sleep 20 hours a day) were better in about three for four days... But I had a lot of lingering, milder symptoms. It truly took weeks to get back to normal. I had never had anything like that before in my life.
We were flying back to Ireland in a few days because we had to get home, of course. God only knows how many people we spread the joy to.
Seriously.... worst vacation EVER!

Because GBS is nothing to sneeze at.
George Bernard Shaw has been dead for many years. He won't harm you.
When I've gotten the flu, which is rare, It might slow me down to half-speed for a day or two max, then I suck it up and deal with it until it passes. It's mind over matter.
So then why were you worried about other viruses (for example, Ebola) when you could have simply willed your way (no fluids, no healthcare, etc.) back to good health?
I don't know what a hurricane is, I don't know what a cold front is, I don't know the difference between a government service and a government taxation screw job, now I don't know what the flu is.
You know what you don't know (or at least a small portion). Progress is being made.

Man, this is so much easier to deal with when you don't have to involve the medical mafia.

Time to sue some cunt and force her to give her kids shots that the CDC admits wont do dick all this flu season. Because this year while they should have been actively trying to deduce the best virus candidates for this years concoction. They were trying to convince a terrified America with a maniac Ebola infested Nurse going out on leisure scenic bike rides, that you can practically use Ebola as a cooking ingredient and not catch Ebola. Maybe just maybe had they had OUR backs instead of Obama's back, they might have focused on an effective vaccine.
We're all just supposed to accept every thing you guys say, and when you get it wrong which really is a fucking LOT...
