The one co-worker with asthma was out two weeks and went to emergency twice because of difficulty breathing. And as I said before, I don't think the flu was limited to my office place. I'm sure this was mirrored in many other places.
I think it insensitive to those that have been suffering through this to call it a 'dud'. Even though I got through it rather quickly, I'm non-plussed with it being called a 'dud'. Until a friend of Bagor ends up going to the hospital twice because she is near passing out because she can't breath, I'm sure he will continue to call this a 'dud'.

It's a new strain and it is
highly contagious - that is prob why you are seeing what you saw at your place of work, that doesnt mean it is more dangerous than the seasonal flu, because that was never the case..
Half my entire hockey team was out at the same time, thanks to a 3 hr bus ride with an infected person...but everyone got through it in a few days..
