I wish you had commented on the high number of people claiming they had the flu when it was actually viral bronchitis or the common cold and was not as serious as the flu, Doc.,
I had viral bronchitis for two weeks around New Years.
X Ray was clean, never had a fever, had a flu shot in October, and tested neg on the quick strip strep and also 48 hour culture.
So no pneumococcal
no streptococci
Purely viral, was rough
Felt like smoke inhalation.
