    Sure, we'll call it the flu.

    The thread title looks like something Matthew Lesko would write, lol.

      I've never had the flu. How long does it usually last?

        I've had it 3 times. It only lasts a few days. I think it's supposed to be 72 hour max, just like parvo (dogs). 9 days isn't freaking flu in my book.

          Three days of the flu for three grand. Hmmm...

            Typically the flu lasts one to two weeks, depending on the person's immune system and can lead to respiratory complications including bronchitis with persistent coughing.

            No amount of money in the world could convince me to purposefully get infected with the flu again. And, I don't know why anyone would want to either.

              Lol. I hadn't seen your post while I was writing mine, but our last sentences are almost the same! I suspect it would be a similar response from anybody who has had the flu! I was living on my own when it hit me and I consider myself lucky to have survived it!

            Don't be tempted. Thousands of people die each year from the flu. A lot of people think they've had it when in reality they've just had a bad cold. (That's called man flu! Lol) https://www.gov.uk/government/news/p...ble-flu-season

            I had it a couple of years ago and it totally incapacitated me for three days. It took just over a week for all the symptoms to go. No amount of money would induce me to willingly experience that again.
