re: Flu Type A -update

How sick one gets depends on the individual, general state of health, relative "strength" of immune system and also how virulent the strain is that is infecting individuals in the community - some strains are much worse than others - among other things. Also individuals who received the immunization often appear to experience an attenuated course of illness due to some degree of up-regulation of the immune system to the virus. And, Tamiflu is likely helping you as well, especially if started early in the course.

Yeah, also meant to note, she had the flu shot back in October. My brother works for the health dept here though and basically called this shite. He told me the vaccine they were giving out was pretty much worthless for the particular strain they ended up expecting after so many viles had already been produced/ordered. They were supposed to have a different one available by early Jan, but we didn't make it. The good thing, is hopefully she just beat it completely and we won't deal with it again.
