Please tell me you get fewer bouts of the flu when in TV. I get the flu every year. I go and get my flu shots and I still get the flu. My husband will be sick for maybe a half a day and I am miserable for 10. So weak yesterday I couldn't even check this site (or my stocks). If I was down there I could dress warm and let the sun bake it out.

Sorry for the complaining,
Trudy

The flu is miserable.

I do hope you feel better soon!!

you're kidding right, i love the flu, can't wait til flu season each year...gn

[TrudyM]

Seriously do you guys get less colds and flu in the warm weather when you are out exercising, instead of cooped up indoors.

[golfnut]

i don't think ambient temperature has anything to do with it...gn

Trudy... I've been full time in the Villages for about 3.5 yrs. Back 'north' I used to get 2-3 colds a year (thankfully, not the full fledged flu for many years).

Since I've been here I've not had one real head cold. So, yes, I think the warmer, more consistent temps help but probably, more importantly, the relative lack of children and their germs.

Rum is better. It prevents scurvy also.

I agree with Villages07. However the pollen here this season is really, really bothering our daughter.

As the Doc says, proper diet and exrcise keeps the flu at bay.
diet:
Breakfast- Capt't Crunch and Jack Daniels
Lunch- Tacos and Margaritas
Super- Steak and Beer

Exercise- Nada....way to much risk for injury

Yoda, I think it's the lime that you put in the rum that prevents scurvy. And tonic prevents malaria. And staying away from children prevents flu.
