    According to my pharmacist mother, there's actually *five* flu variants spreading around. Outside of the typical flu and COVID, there's 3 other flu variants that have been spreading and are not countered by flu shots. Sounds like Alex and Hayley got one of these flu variants. It's hit Korea pretty hard too - we're swarmed by coughing, sneezing, miserable patients and we have to wear masks all the time. Her tips to avoid these flus this season: always wear masks even in open settings as these flu variants are very contagious, bring hand sanitizer, wash your hands as often as possible, and essentially act paranoid around social gatherings.

      Yeah! First hand experience here ✋🏻 my experience was I just had COVID about a week ago and recovered....but now, a lingering cough persists. It feels dry and is annoying, but otherwise, I'm able to function well 🙏🏻 but it is a little persistent. Rest seems to temporarily stop it and water is a must - the usual. But even this needs be as consistent (thinking positive thoughts never hurt too) 💡 I hope that's helped anyone feeling down in the dumps about it if they have one of the variants or flu in general! ❤

      Btw guys... Every year scientist have to predict from data, what will be going around 1 year out.
      So basically they are guessing, albeit an educated guess, it is still a guess for what will arrive a year into the future.
      But, every year the flu shot is a prediction based on past flu patterns, of what they believe will be the most deadly or dominant 2 strains of the upcoming flu season. And the flu shot is the protection for those 2 flu strains.
      But yeah. There is always more than just 2 flu strains out and about doing damage each winter season.

    Hayley 😭 I'm so glad you're better; that sounds so very awful that I can't even put it into words. I'm like _never_ sick but when I am, it tends to be either a "ope something is about to happ- eh never mind" or it's Very Bad. But I've never had the flu or any of the seasonal things people tend to go through. I think whatever y'all had would put me under for a month. Yikes.

    FYI in case you don't know, for stuff like the game awards, there's generally places (reddit definitely at least) that just collects the info/trailers together, so you don't have to deal with even scrubbing through the thing, you can just check out the important bits.

    Everyone please listen to Hayley and stay safe! Something similar also went around November of 2022 and it was honestly the worst I have ever felt/had to take off 2 weeks of work because I physically couldn't speak for 1 week and then couldn't stop coughing/mucus everywhere/exhaustion for 2 more weeks. Last year at urgent care they kinda shrugged their shoulders and said RSV after I tested negative for Covid, the flu, and strep throat, but whatever it is it hits hard. I would not wish it upon my worst enemy. Stay Safe!

  • @KillFriskey
    @KillFriskey 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Yeah, me and my wife definitely had what you guys had. I didn't get it nearly as bad, just congestion and a bad cough but my wife pretty much went through what Hayley went through. She lost her voice because she was coughing so bad. We're on the up and up however. We both still cough really bad on a blue moon but that's about it. Here's hoping you guys are also doing better. ♥️

    I had a cold that was so bad that I could barely talk in the mornings. I was straight up miserable. Of course, it wasn't nearly as bad as Alex and Hayley, which I am thankful for. Glad they're starting to feel better. I mean, this cold took away most of my appetite and I love to eat. Now, I don't sneeze and my nose doesn't run, so there's that. I just have a nagging cough that I am taking cough drops for. Watch out, some stuff really is going around

    The year before the end of the world (2019) I had a really bad case of what was probably either COVID (obviously no testing) or just an incredibly bad flu bug.
    From just after Christmas until like a week into the new year, I basically couldn’t do much besides shovel snow (because I had to) and do a few hours of work.
    The only thing that saved me is working in a family business and winter being my “down” time (agriculture) anyways so I just worked a little closer to “busy” hours when I recovered to get my income back to where it would have been.

  • @crimsongamer2337
    @crimsongamer2337 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Going by what's been said it sounds like I had what Haley and Alex were experiencing. I had a cough that lasted for 3-4 weeks, hot/cold chills, throwing up a lot. I felt exhausted all the time, and my body ached constantly. I've had COVID before, but this was worse than that. I've just barely gotten over it now. At first I thought it was the flu, but it sounds like that wasn't the case.

  • @char_skyee

    we’ve all had this illness here as well (we’re in England so it’s not just in the US)! i was off work for 2 weeks because i just couldnt do anything, went back for one week and then finished for Christmas break luckily. my mum and my son had it as well, we were all on antibiotics but the doctors didnt have any idea what it was because all tests were negative. today is 5 weeks since i first got it and i still have a cough now, it is absolutely horrible! so glad y’all are feeling better!

    My dad just recently came down with something. Two nights ago he was the weakest I've ever seen him. It got to the point where we were gonna bring him to the ER, but couldn't get him to go down the steps on the porch so we had to call an ambulance. The hospital said he had the flu, but at this point after hearing this it could either be that or whatever is going around. He seems to be on the upswing, but it's still worrying.

  • @Andrea-bv4ep
    @Andrea-bv4ep 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You know what, I probably had the exact same thing as Hayley and Alex, to a lesser extent. It started right after I got back home from a shift working my work's holiday light display. I was stationed by the fire the whole night and when I got home, I was SUPER congested. I had a head cold at the beginning of November that lasted all of about a week and was nothing terrible (I got the flu and covid shot that same week, that covid shot hit HARD, though). But, the weekend after Thanksgiving, I get hit hard. Sudden congestion, the next day super lethargic and brain fogged (probably also a fever, but I don't own a thermometer, I just get hypersensitive to touch, so I just tossed back some fever reducers). Better going forward but the congestion clung on and I definitely had some yellow and slight green mucous that I was continuously coughing up. I basically lived on mucinex and sudafed for close to 3 weeks straight. The terrible wet ouchy cough. I all thought that it was because I had been around a campfire and inhaled too much of the smoke and it made my asthma incredibly angry. I also never took a day off of work during this time. I work at a nature center and am a seasonal employee. I do accrue sick time very slowly but I don't get PTO. And, heck, the birds have to eat and they're not going to care if you're sick or not.
    No one I was around at work with ever caught what I had. I even was in a car with some people for about 8 hours and none of them got sick.

  • @DonnieReno
    @DonnieReno 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In 2019 there was something going around. I only knew of one other person locally who had it but I heard from people in a couple other areas of the US who got it. I also have a friend in Australia whose daughter had it and a friend in the UK whose husband had it.
    We all had the same symptoms… constant coughing up of gunk, all day and all night. Extreme fatigue and at some point there was a fever for a few days. This went on for a solid month, for all of us. THEN after getting well and back to normal for about 6-7 weeks, the dang stuff came back, for all of us! Same exact symptoms but it only lasted 2 weeks the second time. At the time I googled it and could never find out anything about it. The only way I knew it was around was from word of mouth.
    I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn’t come back for Alex and Hayley 🤞🏼

    This is weird. I was sickly when I was a kid, but my immune system is much stronger. I had COVID, but in a week, I was over it. (First day hit me like a TRUCKLOAD of bricks!) I had the usual immunizations for it, and was grateful for them. And since then, I haven't been really sick at all. But it concerns me, this illness. I mean, people have their own levels. Some get sick easily, some don't. But this is really strange.

  • @BlameThande
    @BlameThande 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sorry to hear Alex and Hayley were so ill. I've not heard about these particular symptoms in the UK although general winter illnesses have been spreading around. I hadn't even realised till Hayley mentioned it that getting hit with this in the US means you could lose income, that's appalling there isn't paid sick leave. I remember in Year 5 (age 9-10) in school we had to study Victorian child labour in the 1830s and one of the things that most shocked us as kids was the idea that back then, if people were ill they just didn't get paid. Tragic that that's still the case in the US (and the gig economy is trying to sneak it back in here as well).

    • @circlenowsquared
      @circlenowsquared 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Wait, so all jobs get paid sick leave in the UK? We have SOME jobs that get that in the US, but it's generally salaried jobs, not minimum wage or things like that.

    I had it as well 😩 halfway through the first week I slept 18 hours in one day. I never felt the "you will throw up" button, but the COUGHING and just the pure exhaustion was terrible. I was out of work for 4 days, and yes, the income loss was significant. 😞 Hope everyone feels better soon ❤

    It sounds a bit like pertussis (whooping cough), particularly vomiting after a coughing spell. Although most children in the US are immunized as babies, that immunity tends to wane after a year or two, leaving people vulnerable to the illness.
