The flu is old news, something everyone has become accustomed to.  However, the virus is new and can put fear into peoples lives, which this world thrives on.

Oh, edited to add that according to WebMD there have been about 16,000 deaths this year from the seasonal flu...   why don't we make a big deal out of that.

 

My doctor insists that I get the flu shots and the pneumonia shot each year, as due. Every pharmacy has shots and personnel to minister them. So I think it is a big deal and has been for a few years now.

you don't need pneumonia shots every year but there is two kinds.   I've taken flu shots every year since 1972 and  have only had the flu a couple of times when it had mutated a bunch and the shots were not very effective.....   but even then it was not as serious as a lot of people get....     I have had pneumonia three times in the last 20 years and that is a serious problem.

I read

"Pope Francis is missing a part of one lung. It was removed when he was in his early 20s in his native Buenos Aires after he suffered from tuberculosis.

He also suffers some leg pain due to sciatica, for which he undergoes regular physical therapy and which explains his occasional difficulty climbing steps. But he is in generally good health."

And hes what 82? Praise GOD! I think the enemy will try to use this virus to scare many. There is no fear with God. Gave us SO many promises. Faith DOES work both ways.

Pardon the poor sentence structure. I wasn't trying to  present a schedule for shots, but instead that I follow my doctor's instructions each and every year.

I did so for 14 years of working around some 300 school kids and 600 church goers. Never got sick, with flu, I think because I listened to my doctor. Other staffers would get sick again and again and again each year.  Now if there was something for my pollen allergies....

I wonder if Word of Faith people are like Christian Scientists who get the flu by hiding in their cave until it is "healed".

Have any Word of Faith people gotten the flu?
