I do realize there is not one flu virus, but I also realize that there isn't one polio virus, but that has been eliminated.rocket733 wrote:You do of course realize there is not one flu virus, just like there is not one cold virus, thus it would be impossible to cure the flu since there are many different variations. That's the reason they provide shots each year, since they can usually predict which strain will hit the US based on which strains appear in the East. And doctors aren't the people you should be pissed at, if you washed your hands before every meal and took care not to touch parts of your face where there are mucus membranes the chances of contracting the flu fall greatly.
Also, your logic quite flawed. You have no idea what my hygene habits are, and even if you did, the "chances of contracting the flu" falling greatly doesn't have anything to do with me actually contracting the flu.
