having seen the effects of stomach cancer & alzheimer's there is a reason why pneumonia is called the old man's friend -- the complication of flu likely to cause death is pneumonia & it is most likely to affect the elderly

i've had pneumonia, & i suspect it would not be a bad way to go, i just wanted to sleep & sleep

we have to die of something

i do not think the flu vaccine does what it is advertised to do, i've had elders in my family get the vaccine & still get the flu, the vaccine is a "guess" at what strain will be going around & the guess ain't always right

there is a point at which i have to think the serenity prayer -- there are some things we can't do anything abt, the strength to identify them well there's the rub

on edit--i'm agreed w. yr comments on bird flu 1000 percent, it's all hype & fear mongering
