I ask because one of my patients was surprised when I said I never, in fact, have been struck down by influenza. It can't be *that* common, otherwise we'd label it "the common flu" like we toss around "the common cold", no?

I got the flu once in high school and ended up with pneumonia. Why swimming is a winter sport I have no fucking idea, but it was right at the end of the season and I had to miss the state finals (which my relay was probably going to take :/) cause of it. I was pissed.

That seems like the natural progression of things. Damn.
The swimming prolly didn't help things along.
