Judging by the four-hour wait at UrgentCare yesterday, most of America has the flu right now, but it was a bad time for me, I’ve still got a lot of DealerExpo to talk about, people have been sending me great links left and right, the new T-shirts are almost in production, and that’s not even accounting for my real job, or American Scooterist, or any of the many other balls I dropped last week.
Apologies to Cobra Powersports, whose story I mangled quite a bit (and it’s still uncorrected), and to PSF/Andretti, who I have a lot of nice things to say about despite my first impression a few weeks ago. That’s coming up, along with a Diamo/Italjet story, another “State of the Chinese Scooter Industry” piece, and a few other reports from the show, and of course all the usual detritus. If you missed last week’s Dr. Buzz, you might have also missed our new VIN Database which will hopefully be a useful resource. Now that we think about it, I probably caught the flu rolling around under all those Chinese scooters last weekend looking for VINs. Anyway, I’m on the mend, thanks for your patience.
Prednisone for the flu is not a good idea, unless your doctor thinks you are in severe respiratory distress (i.e. pneumonia).
Yep, I’ve got asthma and I’m having some severe wheezing problems along with the fulu. And the ‘roids (plus a shot and two nebulizer treatments) aren’t helping much, I could have had leprosy and they wouldn’t have noticed at the UrgentCare. I’ve gotta call my real doctor.
Might be time for some changes, no? The older we get, the more this stuff will happen.
