With the current outbreak of influenza peaking - and the news reports of the deaths associated with the flu - a lot of people are wondering:  why are people dying from the flu?  After all, isn't the flu similar to the common cold?

This season's influenza outbreak is one of the worst in several years - according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  So - what do you do if you come down with the flu?

With influenza season here, it's important to know whether or not you've actually come down with the flu - or - if you're "just sick" with something else.

My mind goes back to the time I visited a r&r friend who was institutionalized. I walked in the front door and what I saw made me freeze. It took me a few  seconds to regain my composure.  When I read this article, the same feelings came back.

All  is not well in Ozzyville, illness forces Ozzy to cancel a show.  You know Sharon is kicking his butt to get better so they can make some $$. Let's hope the Prince of Darkness gets better.
