Cartoon taken from Kaz in the "Unfunny stuff" thread, but I've had something like a cold-flu-walking pneumonia for a couple of weeks now. I also know several others that have or had similar. Anyone here?
Any evidence, even anecdotal, that this is other than a normal sickness?
As far as medicines, I've found that astragalus seems to help. 

You mean...you got sick around the end of November?  I also was a little ill last week.  This is surely a very unusual sickness.  No one every gets sick in the fall and winter months.  

The media is trying to gin up hysteria...again.
