Do you think that most people think the stomach flu is related to the flu-flu? I just read an article debunking that and I hadn't realised it had been bunked.
My recent experience has doctors addressessing by saying, "Oh, you've been sick for two weeks and it's kicking your ass? You have The Real Flu" to distinguish from lesser viruses.
Oh yeah, I've definitely had to explain to people (educated adults!) what the actual flu is, what the flu shot does, etc. This year!
Until I worked at an office that gave flu shots, I thought 'stomach flu' was the only flu. Or possibly didn't know that influenza was also called 'flu'.
There is something wrong with this sentence (on a poster for a summer social at work). Like- what is a "food line"? And why is there a random comma.
Choose a theme, or a food line or show off your best chef skills! Your Choice!!!
IME, people use "flu" to refer to any illness that isn't obviously something else.
I always figured the unmodified flu to be influenza, and the stomach fly was gastroenteritis. No relationship other than the name.
For $17.5M, it better be a hollowed-out volcano.
I always thought stomach flu was one of the viruses ("bugs") that goes around.
That base is super cool, but almost too big.
I think we need to all buy lottery tickets this weekend.
I really like this dress, but would want it in cotton. [link]
