Kyler Baughman, from Latrobe, had gone home for the holidays with “a snotty nose,” his mother recalled in an interview earlier this week with WPXI. “We saw him the 23rd for our family Christmas get-together and we noticed he wasn’t feeling well,” Beverly Baughman told the news station.

But days after Christmas, Kyler Baughman was worse — coughing and running a fever, his family told the news station. They said he went to a nearby hospital in western Pennsylvania and, from there, was flown to UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh.

Soon after, on Dec. 28, Kyler died of “organ failure due to septic shock caused by influenza,” his mother told WPXI.


Bad flu season this year - especially for elderly and very young.

I had the flu last year and was stubborn about it at first. My stomach was killing me in the middle of the night and when I went to throw up I passed out in the bathroom. Luckily I avoided hitting my head on anything but I did vomit all over myself and the bathroom and then laid there in a pool of my vomit for quite awhile until my wife came to help me.

Right in the center of the article is a “go get a flu shot” ad.

Hmmmmm

The dude probably had the AIDS and didn't know it.

Guy my wife went to college with died last year of the "flu". 2 months after his shocking sudden death, they find out he had AIDS.

This sounds like the "stomach flu", not actual influenza......

Yep. If you're throwing up and/or have diarrhea, it's not the flu.

Not always true; community acquired MRSA is a known complication of the flu that primarily affects younger people and is lethal. Very rare but it happens.

The 1918 Influenza occurrence kept my granpy from going to WWI. His unit was at Fort Sill and the Flu ran through those 18-24 year-olds like a hot knife through butter.

He didn't have it but his unit was so messed up that they had to start basic all over with about 50% replacements.

Of course that was before big pharma started chemtrailing us....
