Hope at least some of you (even the doomers) will laugh...
...whilst reading the following.
As you know, I refer to the current medical thing as the ‘beervirus.’ As noted in other posts, my little ER nurse friend scolds me for that. Which encourages me but I digress...
So I will ask her later today if I can refer to the beervirus by any of these names: (If you never see a post from me again you will know she STRONGLY disapproved.  )
Flu Manchu
Shanghai Shivers
Sweet and Sour Sicken (my personal fav)
Wish me luck...
Be safe...be well.

My dear little wife called it "The Beer Flu" before anybody else, she also wondered if it came with a Lyme.

I saw people eating those things holding on the the wings and biting off a chunk of head. Yum, Yum.
And monkey brains. If overcooked they lose their 'flavor' so they just poach them in water for a few seconds and they're ready to eat. Mad Cow and all.

I’m alive!
My little friend tried very hard not to laugh...but she did. 
‘Shanghai Shivers’ was her fav...followed closely by ‘Sweet and Sour Sicken.’
Lest anyone chasten her, she is serious as a heart attack whilst working. But she’s human and if you know anyone who is an ER nurse you understand a sense of humor is an absolute MUST in their job.
Be safe...be well.

I like the “WuFlu”. Short, accurate, and totally politically incorrect.

A R.N. I knew after drinking a bottle of wine started telling us stories about working in the E.R. The best one was the story she told about a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood that they kept somewhere that was covered with the most interesting things they had removed from a human's anus, everything from a 2 liter coke bottle to a 100watt light bulb, you have to ask yourself...
