1. No, it was just a hyped-up flu season.
Apparently flu was widespread in my state, but it didn't hit my town. I think it got a late start, or something...

3. Last year was probably the
one you're thinking about. Lack of vaccine and all that.

5. I know
and I know the ER's were overrun.
It hung on forever and most people that got it were sick for at least a couple of months.
How do they call that mild?:shrug:
