Day two

Author's Note:

I will be skipping day's when I feel there is no reason to show them.

Besides that tell me how this chapter is. I used a grammar checker.(I am sick and tired of waiting for my editor to go online just to do nothing!)

That is all. Now back to the show.

48:00:00 since first infection

Yesterday was uneventful. The biologist said it will take some time to find out what it was that ended up in my kitchen. Only saying all the petri dishes showed negative for any bacteria, and that there is an as of now unknown preservative in the mix.

I cleaned up the glass and what little substance was left after the call. Nothing much happened after that.

“Achoo!” Beside catching the flu.

The odd thing about that is, I was sure I got vaccinated for the flu last year.

But catching the flu will not stop me from visiting the hospital and my friend Derick. I know for certain he is vaccinated and the flu shouldn’t spread through the hospital.

Derick and I were high school friends, and stayed in touch even after he went to college. Where he got a PHD in medicine, and a membership of the CDC.

While I got out of the educational system with three programming languages under my belt, and a basic understanding of Newtonian physics.

While some say I got the better deal then Derick. I haven't been able to use these talents much compared to him.

Of course, I don’t need to go all the way to Atlanta to visit him as he is only at the CDC when a pandemic happens. I just got to visit him at the Dallas hospital.

Upon entering the waiting room to the lab. *Cough!* I let one cough out before covering my mouth.

I was able to request a face mask after that and went to visit my old friend.

Upon entering his office I found him on his own, like every time I came to visit.

“Hey Derick.”

“Hey Allen… What’s with the mask?”

“Got a case of the flu. Decided this is the best way to keep it away from anyone else.”

“Good idea, but some may still catch it regardless. Unless they're vaccinated. Speaking of which I’m pretty sure you’re vaccinated, and that you never go out, so this unorthodox.”

“What could it mean?”

“It may be a never before seen strain that is not in the seasonal flu vaccine. Come with me, lets do a test.”

We went a few halls over to the lab to do some tests for the disease I had obtained.

First Derick put on a face mask and asked me to cough into a petri dish. After that, he started asking me questions.

“When did symptoms start?”

“Yesterday, around noon.”

“What symptoms are there?”

“Just the usual symptoms of the flu.”

“I think we should keep an eye on you for the time being, there are many non flu disease’s that show flu like symptoms.”

“Alright.”

Too bad this was only the beginning.

I would like to point out that flu vaccines are redundant as they protected you from LAST years flu. By the time you get the vaccine it's already useless.

The more you know am I right?
