    Good to go here, but I keep plenty of hand sanitizer nearby, and continually keep my flipper buttons & game exterior as clean as the play fields. I also drink tons of vitamin C every day via Orange Juice and Apple Cider, haven't had a flu shot, refuse to get them, and haven't had the flu or gotten sick from anything other than food poisoning in 10+ years or more.

    I always wondered why people who choose to get shots are so worried about those who don't. I mean seriously, if you're "safe" because you got a shot, why worry about those who chose not to?

    Lol, vitamin C, it's the key... Preferably enough in you to keep the flu away, not for after you get it although it will help with the battle.

    Quoted from pinbum:

    also vitamin D is very important, so get out in some sunshine if possible.

    When it's dark and gloomy outside for days I counteract it with milk. Seems like Vitamin D helps with depression and balances the mood a little.

    Quoted from Wickerman2:

    Remember: YOU can carry the flu and not be sick and you are still contagious. There are people that DIE from the flu.

    Am I wrong for thinking that if the flu shot is so effective, then those who get the shot shouldn't have to worry about dying from the flu just because they ran into a contagious person who hasn't gotten the shot?

    Another interesting tidbit is that people actually trust Big Pharma to be safe as if they're looking out for us. It's amazing. Oxycontin wasn't cleverly designed to create addicts. Doctors in cahoots with Pharma reps writing scripts out like there's no tomorrow. All the ADHD nonsense doping of our kids... Curing cancer? Screw that, there's more money in maintaining it. Every damn commercial for some new pill full of unpleasant side effects. Sure, let me be a guinea pig. Sounds fun.. I could go on. They lost credibility and trust with me eons ago.

    I suppose we should trust everything the government and media tells us as well.

    Quoted from mbaumle:

    Scientists, using field models and historical data, try to predict which flu virus will be the most virulent that particular year, and essentially use a "best guess" to determine what strain they'll use.

    Yeah, no thanks. I don't need my body used to confirm or deny how right or wrong someone's guess work is. I'll stick with my 20+ years of being illness and disease free as an adult.
