You would be better of yelling at the doctors, I'm not going to fault them as they too are learning as they go, medical science is always evolving as new information presents itself.

How on earth do you manage to fight off the flu virus in 8-12 hours?
As far as I'm aware the flu knocks you on your ass for a few days at minimum?
Of course I could be wrong, but how do you know it's flu you're fighting off so quickly and not the common cold?
I know I can fight off a cold in 8-12 hours, I call them false alarms. Ie cold symptoms 1 day, then feeling better the next day.
Looks like the flu usually lasts 5 to 7 days.

I have never had a flu for a week. Never in my whole life. Are people's immune systems weaker nowadays than they were in the past?
In my family, my older sister had the "weak" immune system, my younger sister had a "normal" immune system and I have an "alpha strong" immune system.
For example, chicken pox. When I got the chicken pox, I only had a fever on and off for less than a day. My immune system fought off chicken pox in less than a day. I only had 7 pox marks on my body before my immune system fought it off. No fever the next day.
My little sister with her "normal" immune system caught the same strain of chicken pox from me. She was sick for a week. And had about 40 pox marks on her body before her immune system fought it off.
Next my older sister with her "weak" immune system caught the same strain of chicken pox. She was sick in bed for 3 weeks and had hundreds of pox all over her body including inside her mouth, under her hair, between her toes. My mom took her to the hospital because her fever was too high.
All 3 of us had the same strain of chicken pox. But because we each had different immune systems, our bodies fought them off very differently.
I have never been sick for a week with any flu strains in my life. My body fights off the flu within 8-12 hours, just like my body fought off chicken pox in less than a day with only 7 pox marks on my body. I don't think I catch colds or if I do, my immune system fights them off without any effort. I have an alpha-strong immune system.
People have different immune systems despite what Harvard might say. But still, even my little sister with her "normal" immune system fights off the flu within 2-3 days, NEVER a week. Never that long.
Makes me wonder if people's immune systems have gotten weaker over the last 20 years if it takes a whole week to fight off the flu.

We knew nothing about this virus when it first hit.
with stroke, nerve damage and other neurological problems related to scarring from CV19. Hope THAT'S a lie
YES, after about 3 months, you lose your anti-body protection. Stats are in that about 95% of those infected with the virus will lose their protection and then once again you'll catch the virus again.
They developed a vaccine which left a scar the size of a silver dollar

Oh Ben. Yeah, I would trust my life with what he says.. Nope.
BTW, I had covid back in March and my lungs are still fudged up. I never smoked a day in my life. Now I am wheezy like I smoked 2 packs a day for 30 years.

Thanks for the explanation 👍
Sounds like you do have an incredibly strong immune system then, this is not the norm though. You might be a super hero? Captain Immunity! Hehe I jest 😁
However with regards to people's immune systems being worse over the last 20 years you could be right, My assumptions/anecdote was actually referring right back to the 70's and 80's onwards ·

nasty virus
Some Covid-19 survivors are suffering unexpected side-effects that have left them with difficulty eating or speaking. It's because of damage done to their throats when being put on ventilators and for some it means having to relearn basic life skills.
