Caught a bad flu in late 2018. Lingered for two months. Cough so bad, I dislocated a rib. Had X-rays taken, and everything. Took about a year for the the rib to stop slipping whenever I exerted myself. In the end, it was a period of discomfort that set me back a spell, but which I ultimately got over. Probably wouldn't try to shut down society over it, or use it as proof that people should fear the flu. Just that sometimes you get sicker than usual.
- clairity 5y agoi had a similarly bad flu bout winter 2017-18. the worst of it literally had me at the edge of death one night. would have stopped breathing had i not willfully forced myself to, through all the congestion and soreness (also had a rib issue like you). the flu is no joke, and yet i also wouldn’t try to shut down the world, let alone my city, for the flu.
