the past two. I know a young lady whose work generally starts with a large Y incision on people. She says the problem has been ignored too long.

Yeah, if the coughing makes you puke, pee, see stars or flashing lights, it might not be just flu. Not everyone gets the really noisy "whoop" sound associated with small children with the disease. If you sound a bit like air being let out of a balloon after a coughing spell, might wanna consider Pertussis as the culprit.
