Absolutely. The antivirals have their best chance of working if taken in the first few days after symptoms appear. Your doc/hospital may also be able to test if you truly have the flu or not.

The vaccine takes time to manufacture, so once the strains are selected in February, the production is off and running for the coming fall. The "drifted" strain this year was first detected in March, too late to make it into that batch.

"Your flu could become their flu."

Your reasoning is faulty. If a blood center has a limited amount of money to spend on testing blood - and they do - then, yes, they have a very good reason to continue this practice. If men who have sex with men have a significantly higher rejection rate for their blood donation, then rejecting them outright before…

Additionally, in what I am sure is a complete coincidence, the restriction on men who have had sex with men even once since 1977 sits just below the restriction for people who've used needles to take drugs on the FDA's guidelines, because as we are all doubtless aware, gay and bisexual men are so very comparable to…

But I feel that if your of a certain age and had the flu shot growing up, you probably don't need it anymore. Look, if your going to get sick your going to get sick regardless of whether or not you've taken the plunge to get the shot.

Well, I for one applaud the NFL for finally taking a clear, aggressive, no-nonsense stand against bad PR. It is clear that the league will no longer tolerate actions by players that cause sponsors to threaten cutting business ties. Children, wives, and girlfriends of NFL players can exhale and rest easy tonight,…

While an adult may have a number of options when confronted with abuse – to flee, to fight back, or to seek help from law enforcement

Elizabeth Warren for Queen of America!

The cherry-picking in this story is on par with that shit-heel Doug Barry trying to gloss over the fact that (adult shit-heel) Chris Brown was raped as a child.

I'm here for you.

Between you and ME, not I.

This is Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. It's not a symphony, it's a serenade for strings. Plus, the whole thing is around 20 minutes long. I don't want to come across as pedantic, but in this kind of discussion I think it's important that we're all clear on the facts and terminology.

2016: <— Can you believe I'm still doing this shit?

I wish I was still a registered voter in WI; Scott Walker raises me to Red Lantern Mera levels of rage.

Don't forget the ritual sacrifice of virgins.

So instead of finding ways to get her resources for caring for her children, they... strip her of more resources by throwing her in jail? This makes sense.

The Dog thing is out of control. Dogs on planes and subway cars. Billions spent on dog medicine. That people love their dogs so much is a sign of how alienated we are from other human beings in our culture. Nobody loved their dogs as much as the SS loved the shepherds.

I totally see your point and mull over this all the time, I'm all for a woman controlling her own sexuality. Nicki paid for her ass and like, say a weave, she should be able to show it off whenever she wants to. It is her body. But is a woman controlling her sexuality ever out of the realm of the male gaze? Is her…

It angers me most that her goal to interview "real Americans" and interviews people like this piece of shit.
