Flu seems going strong over here in the part of California I'm in, as well. Son caught it at school, brought it home. We've all had it now for a couple of days.

When he went back, he told me that he had 4 classes with substitute teachers, and it seemed like more than a third of each class was out.

I know that most people who think they got the flu didn't, and it was just a normal cold. I'm like 80% sure this was the flu, though. Seemed to match up. Rapid onset. Fever. All body ache. Chills. Headache.

Worst part was that he had just brought us home a regular - pretty mild - cold a week and a half before this.
