I miss the old stomach flu

Remember in the 70s and 80s when someone got the flu virus that they felt sick, vomited several times and in a few days they felt fine. Back when you were a and you could watch the game shows and soap operas prior to cartoons.

I really dislike these latest versions of influenza where there appears to be a generalized secretion of yellow green mucus in the airway. The coughing that lasts for over a week. The friendly people in the store or at work who are happy to share their viral contagion with you. The mucus all ways seems to attract a secondary bacterial infection just when you start feeling better. Not to mention that there is nothing on television.

Admittedly not as bad as say Marberg but also reminiscent, short incubation period, copious mucus defense response, makes one wonder if in fact some of the hemorrhage is in fact a response to help flush out the virus.

I miss the days of get sick, throw up and your done.
