Nasty Flu Going Around: Take Precaution!
Share with others
One of our co workers*cough*Alyssa*cough* decided to come in when she was deathly ill. She started off with a cough which within hours turned into a full blown cold. You get chills, then you start shivering. You get a temperature up to 103 degrees and maybe even get water in your lungs making you cough and hiccup painfully. The major symptoms go away in about a day or a day and a half, its full course probably about a week or so but it is exceptionally contagious…naturally I got it as well. I coughed so hard I have sore pains in my stomach and solar plexus. Sleeping was a nightmare, when I shifted positions I would cough violently. Take precaution with this flu going around, I have heard of so many people being out sick and half of our office was infected with this cold.
Do your workmates a favor, when you are sick, stay home if possible especially when you have a chronic cough or sneezing. Work from home or a starbucks but don’t infect your workmates!
If you must come to work, wear a mask, use Hand Sanitizer and keep away from physical contact with others and objects unless you absolutely have too…gloves could come in handy to.
Also, DON’T Cover up when you get the chills, you will just incubate your fever making it worse. Take some cool showers and make sure to drink plenty of liquids. Your appetite may go to so stock up on a couple of Ensure or Boost nutritional drinks.
