Reply #12: It is not besides the point, it is a matter of fact

and even if you do not like it, when it comes back in the fall if it follows the regular pattern and it kills even just the 35000 people that it kills a year, you will still scoff, and if it kills double that you will still scoff

I know

By the way, the only thing we MIGHT have in time for the flu is a vaccine,

IF we don't the treatment for the flu today is the same as it was in 1968

Bed rest, plenty of liquids, antipyretics. (fever reducing meds, such at tylenol, avoid aspirin...)

Most people will not go in time to the doc to get the antivirals that only REDUCE the time it takes to heal you, not cure you
