Sorry to hear you spent 2 weeks feeling flu-ey. Ick. May you get back up to full strength soon!
The interesting thing about the huge pandemic caused by the 1918 flu was that the mortality curve was W shaped, with peaks of deaths among children and old folks as normal, but another peak in the 30-40 age group among adults. Apparently there was a generation of folks between the 30somethings and the old folks who might have had parital immunity from a flu that came through years earlier. Anyway.....hope you haven't got anything that's going pandemic!!
