We had both kids in hospital from it, and at different times got it ourselves too. We also had about half of our family and friends down with it at some point in the season, and large numbers of workmates off sick (enough to cause staffing issues).
It was absolutely among the worst flus I can personally remember having, and staff at the hospital were openly saying it was the worst season they can remember having in a long time.
- rawburt 7y agoDid any of you get flu shots?
- Sendotsh 7y agoYep we get all relevant shots and immunisations. They’re free here so it would be silly not to.
- openureye1s283 7y agoAnd that's exactly why you all got the "flu". The bad part is that you also spread it due to vaccine shedding.
- openureye 7y agoYou got the "flu" because of the vaccine, not in spite of.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoIf this is going to be your theory, mind explaining how this works? My understanding was that the flu vaccines use inactive bits of the flu viruses selected for the vaccines. I don’t understand how inactive bits of a virus can cause infection?
- openureye5 7y agoYour understanding is based on lies they tell you. Also you put the community around you on danger due to vaccine shedding. The info is out there, just open your mind and start looking.

- jimmaswell 7y agoThey're close enough to free for me here, but I've never had the flu so the time/potential side effects aren't worth it for me.
- baylisscg 7y agoHerd immunity is important too. Not everyone, and especially those most vulnerable to flu, can get vaccinated so helping keep it down in the general population helps.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoAussie here, was bad in the south island too (Tasmania). I was sub-par for over a month, started feeling better then down hill again over night. A lot of people at work had time off. Also had the flu shot.
- openureye 7y agoAs I was reading the first 2 paragraphs I already predicted the last line. That's your answer right there.
