Bumped into someone I hadn’t seen in some time while walking the dog on Wednesday evening and two things struck me about him straight away, first he sounded awful and second he’d lost a lot weight. He told me it was the first day he’d been out in three and a half weeks, he’d had the flu for all of that time, much of which he’d spent in bed. I mentioned about the weight he’d lost and he replied that he had not been dieting, his weight loss was down to the flu. I should say that he’s not in the best of health anyway, so it may have hit him harder than most, but it does sound like this year’s flu is a powerful one.
