Fight the Flu


Well, even here in the Ozarks the flu has come down hard. While we have avoided it our friends have gotten it. Old, young, middle age, they are recovering, have it or gonna get it. You know it is bad when the priest gets it and does not even crawl out of bed to call off mass. We avoid town and only go out once a week. We wash our hand, sanitize mail, sanitize anything that comes into our house. We avoided nursing home and hospital visits this month as these are breeding grounds for all kinds of bugs. Church has been hit or miss but the ranks have been thin. It is bad flu this year and so many have had it for over 2 weeks. Most end up going to the hospitals to wait for hours and be turned away. Most get Tamiflu and/or antibiotics and all are miserable. So much blame and finger pointing with the vaccinated and the un-vaccinated. I have to say is an even split on that one here. Everyone is getting exposed to it no matter what shots you got or did not get. I have had the flu understand the tole it takes on the body. I will say that drinking real ginger with real local honey has been my daily drink of choice. Taking vitamins and eating lots of vegetables to keep up immunity. Sanitize dishes and veggies with white vinegar in a spray bottle. It will not harm you like bleach can. Hand washing all the time after everything you do and not just after bathroom time. I have to use moisturizer after washing up so much but that is a small price to pay. I have to be healthy so I can run the farm. Lets all keep healthy out there.
