Reply to comment by nightmareinsouffle in 13 Dead From Flu In WA State, Activity 'Very High' by cailinloesch

The flu comes on suddenly and usually has a fever. We had influenza A three weeks ago. I went from having a slight tickle in my throat to full blown sick with 102+ fever in just a few hours. Silly me just assumed I had RSV since I had known contact with a sick kid. Turns out we got the double whammy RSV and flu!

A friend of mine’s son who lives in the Spokane area got influenza A and B simultaneously over Thanksgiving.

We are in Spokane too and the week we were sick so was everyone else. More than half of my youngest kids class was out sick. Urgent cares were full. Hospitals had super long waits. My kiddo had an unrelated allergic reaction and we couldn't get a bed at the hospital. It sucked.
