LETHOS: Flu season

Let's hope that, with the approach of warmer weather, the flu season is over. Two normally hardy friends (one who received the flu shot, one who didn't) got very sick and could barely get out of bed for a week, much less out of the house to their jobs. One case started with a cold; another developed into bronchitis. The latter first went to an urgent care center and then, later in the illness, tried an online telemedicine service called Maven. She was very pleased with the physician's assistant who "saw" her and said she would definitely try the service again.
