Bellevue, WA here; I had a very bad case of the flu in early Feb (worst I can remember) and it took 3+ weeks to fully recover. Many cow-orkers were also affected (some meetings with 30+ people were down to a handful of people . . . not a bad thing under the circumstances).
Our "patient zero" was a dev who came into work for a day with a cough.
If you're sick, please stay home.
- epiphanitus 7y agoThat's crazy, my mom who lives in the Seattle area got sicker than she's ever gotten with that bug. I knew it was going around, but I had no idea it was THAT rampant.
- Pfhreak 7y agoA real bad influenza swept through here. I was laid out for at least a week with a 102 fever.
- oceanghost 7y agoMy whole family had that same bug in Feb (in So Cal). It was nasty. I have never worked at a company where one could call in sick without consequences. My last employer (which was evil) had a policy of five sick days per year, and more than two days consecutively needed a doctors note.
- sjg007 7y agoThere’s no way you can confirm it was the dev. Almost Everyone has had the flu this year basically regardless of flu shot status. I had a flu shot and got influenza A. It took a week to recover but the fever only lasted half a day. Tamiflu helped. My case corrresponded with a peak in cases in my state.
- lbeltrame 7y agoMost of my past flu "experiences" have been like that. Started of as a cold, two days of low fever, 8 hours of high fever (that waas the sucky part), and two to three days for everything to stabilize.
