This troubled world is sighing now,
La grippe is at the door;
And many folks are dying now
Who never died before.

An old poem I found in a book years ago. For some reason I remember it-- probably because it's taking up space in my brain that should be occupied by, for instance, where I left my car keys or glasses.

"La grippe" was the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-19. (My grandfather died of it.)

Mary,

I was in a small town in Missouri and visited the cemetery, I saw graves and head stones of adults and children form that year. I never forgot it.

I've had flu like symptoms since Thanksgiving.

First week the cough, 2nd week the chest congestion, 3rd week I thought I was better after taking all kinds of OTC meds, 4th week the runny nose. I finally went to the doctor after I started to lose my hearing and I have an inner ear infection.

Right now I have had zero hearing for over a week. I hope it returns this weekend.

My wife and I had the same symptoms, was diagnosed as starting with allergies, then all the goo causing the other problems. I use hearing aids anyway and I still can't hear anything less than an explosion.

People are dropping all over the place, when this is over, I think 9 shots will not be enough.
