I will never get a flu shot again. The first, and last, time I got a flu shot was a few years ago. My arm swelled up so big I could hardly get my shirt sleeve over it and it was very painful. I'd rather take my chances with the flu then go thru that again.

What I want to know is this: Just why should you have WATER stored in case you get the flu? What is wrong with the water that comes out of the tap? It's not like your faucets will just stop working if you get the flu.

I love how some media outlets are acting like this is going to be a flu like the disease in "The Stand" by Stephen King.
