There is no "good" flu.
I have lived in OKC for 41 years now. I have had the flu back in 1978 when I first moved here. That was tough because I was single, and living alone.
The last time was two years ago. It was still tough but easier with a wife around to heat up soup and provide moral support and comforting words like "Stay away from me, go sleep in the guest bedroom, and wash your hands and don't touch me, is your PIN the same for your debit card?"
We managed to keep her from getting it so she let me live. And today is our 27th anniversary!
