We could see the severity of these cases in October or November. The best way to protect yourself is to not come in contact with people who have the flu. For weakened people with a bad heart or diabetes, the flu could be dangerous. Mt. Clemens General Hospital has stockpiled anti-flu medication. The anti-flu medication will only help those people who get it within the first day of when the symptoms show up.
Vaccine is a preventative thing.
The medication is for patients once they have already gotten sick. Most people come in too late for the anti-flu medication. Then the medication won't do any good. Some people who are ill, misdiagnose it as the flu. They think they have influenza when they really don't.
