15 hospitalizations for flu in Wisconsin so far.

Very early in the flu season.

Take cover. Or get vaccinated. And wash your hands, sneeze into your upper arm, don't share drinking cups, and stop using your bare hand to turn doorknobs in public places.

Don't use a shopping cart, bag your groceries in disposable plastic or paper, and don't put your dirty purse on my kitchen countertop.

wash hands, sneeze into your upper arm,
don't share drinking cups, keep clean, keep warm
get vaccinated antibiotic antiseptic gloves
to turn door knobs in public places
keep a clean face and don't wear sandals
the flu won't work
if the vandals wash the handles

Maintain a healthy immune system, too.

Eat vegetables, get plenty of sleep and exercise.

And don't worry about getting the flu.

I so rarely get the flu...can't remember the last time I did. My theory is I grew up in a big place (Chicago suburb) and moved to a smaller place (Milwaukee). So my immune system has "been there, done that".

The opposite is true of Confederate soldiers during the Civil War...more died of disease than mini-ball. They were mostly country boys that were put among thousands for the first time.

And can we please abandon the stupid custom of shaking hands? I don't want to touch anyone I don't want to sleep with.

Don't forget to forego hugging your grandkids, they are germ factories on speed. Oh and their toys! My gawd the danger that lurks on Lego!

The first year that I was out of the Air Force, 94, I didn't get a flu shot, because I didn't have to anymore. I got the flu and was sick as a dog for about a month. Now I get a flu shot every year. I have not had the flu since.

It's a foregone conclusion that you must forgo shopping carts, shaking hands, hugging grandchildren and touching the keys of any keyboard someone else has used.
