I was the opposite. I didn't ever get sick - although, I don't trust the test, so maybe I don't *really* have wuflu antibodies, anyways. My two elderly parents did briefly get severely sick, for a few days. But even they were completely fine in less than a week. There's nothing to fuss over. When I was a kid, I had the flu *terribly* for 9 days. Terribly. I thought I was going to die. I got to the point where I broke out crying every time I started to throwup, because it hurt so much. Most people who get the wuflu (and who even knows who *really* gets it), just feel tired and out of breath, and have a bad cough. For a couple of days. Big wup.
