Are you people on the others side of the world having the same flu problem as the States? It horrible here.  Today at the hospital's "Prompt Care" unit there were over 160 people waiting to be seen by a doctor.  The city in which I live only has about 12,000 residents so 160 is a lot of sickies in just 1 place.  I hear that all of our doctors offices were jam packed as well.  My daughter is usually a pretty healthy person.  She was in bed for 2 weeks with it.  Just went back to work today.
