The flu and the 21st century

Seems like the harder a flu hits the quicker it goes away, but if the bug's symptoms seem especially mild, it seems to stick around with fatigue and malaise lasting for several weeks.

Or maybe that's just me.

When I first came down with symptoms I started feeling emergent, but as they progressed I realized I was emerging, and now that they're finally going away I'm starting to feel Reformed.

Words are like that; I think the point is to stay well ... and avoid getting sick in the first place.
