Hmm, state's dark red, I've not had the shot...

Bring on the needle, please. I'd much rather endure that one moment of slight discomfort than get sick. I know this stuff can spread like wildfire in schools, though either kids who've been infected either A: Aren't showing symptoms yet, B: Have had the good sense to stay home, or C: It's just not gotten here yet.

I'm banking on A.

And just watch me fall ill tomorrow, now I'm planning on being immunized.

Do note that January is the peak of influenza season.

I thought the flu had run it's course. :o

I have not heard of it for quite some time, despite my state being moderate on the map.

Then again, I stay home a lot... I suppose that's for the best considering I don't think I've been vaccinated for it yet.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Also note that the vaccine takes two weeks to become effective.

I've never been vaccinated before, and can't recall ever catching the flu. I don't expect either of these things to change in the near future.

That's what my mother said. She came down with the flu yesterday.

I got the vaccine around Thanksgiving, so hopefully I'll be alright. One of my professors was sick enough to cancel class today though (I don't know that he has the Flu, but it's probably a good bet).

Come to think of it, in my entire life I'm not sure I've ever known anyone to get the flu after getting out of high school.

And isn't the flu meant to come from east, therefore Europe before America ? I remember reading things like that, and that they make vaccine from the first cases of flu in Asia.
We've had a few people with flu, so yeah. It's probably still east from west.
