I feel bad for people who travel to see them. I’m sure they would have gone on if they could. No one wins with a situation like this.

I don’t think age has that much to do with it, but what strain of flu they have. I got one back in August that lasted 11 days and I was so dehydrated I had to get IV fluids twice. I avoided the hospital, but younger, healthier people than me were hospitalized for a week with the same symptoms. I’m 42, btw.
