I've also lost ten more pounds in two weeks, and haven't eaten a meal in probably a week or so.
NO WONDER you catch everything! You're a poor starving puppy.
Look, I've sent 50 pounds of dog chow. You can put ALL that weight back on now. You'll feel more like your old frisky self again.

Quick, Laz, come up with a business plan and I'll give you one percent of the profits.
1% my a$$. You're a mutt; I'm a human. We'll do a 99-1 split all right- but I get the 99.

I actually got my flu shot this year
Their aim seems to be off this year. I got the shot and flu too.

(I am too cheap to buy it, but it's available to me for free at work.)
Let's do the math here:

Flu shot: $100 max. That assumes an appt with a doc just to get it.
Lost time: 5 days @ $2000-$5000/day = $10,000-$25000 for a bigtime legal eagle.

Net profit (loss): ($9,900) to ($24,900)

I am sitting at my desk, sipping Wild Berry Zinger Herb Tea, which a good friend sent to me yesterday as a tonic for sore throats. So far it works.
Another victory for the placebo effect. :-)

Hey, SuperHawk, why don't you trot over to the Don't Start The War thread and kick some butt. I think we're losing. I'm about to pull out and leave it to the flower children.
