YOU guys are NOT alone... lots and lots of flu type rampant around these parts too, but then where folks gather for the holidays (schools, churches, family gatherings) one is about guaranteed to share the wealth...
it's been a roller coaster of temps here, too...night are cold enough the danged heat pump runs, but a couple years ago we had super mild winter and buds came out in January and Turkeys were strutting in FEB...then we got hit with NORMAL temps and everything froze, buds, and all... it wasn't a pretty spring....
Hang in there... weather be one factor I'm sure, but it's that time of year when all the kiddos are home sharing their group collection of germs with others and everyone is hugging and shaking hands, and passing the wealth around...
One church I attended curtailed "sharing the peace" till folks got well as everyone was hacking and blowing and then shaking hands... :( YUK
Prayers for a quick recovery
