People, people, please! Why all the fuss?

You and I can get the flu, take a couple days off work, and be right as rain. The problem is that we're contagious before realize we're sick, and can pass that along to someone who *is* in a high risk group

I'm an MD and deal with this issue/conversation daily. 48% may be below our expectations, but imagine if we had an Ebola or HIV immunization that effective. At risk people would be lining up to get it. The thing about influenza is that a lot of people don't think they're at risk (e.g. all the "I only get sick once…
