I wasn't afraid of it. I got it. I have been in bed a week. However it is not worse than any other flu I have ever had except that while it started out viral, I also developed strep throat in the mix. Coughing with a sore throat is no fun. I am actually glad I got it now, as when it comes back in the fall I won't be catching it then!
And I agree, The Great Influenza is a good book!
BTW, my Dr. said that the CDC takes 12-15 days to report a case to the local health authorities and so there are probably many more cases than reported currently. She alone has seen 4 cases this week. They are most concerned about school aged children, as that is where it spreads like wildfire.
It is really not that awful, just a forced vacation in bed.
