Slowly but Surely

Recovering from flu takes time. My "up" time has increased dramatically vs CRIB in medical speak (complete rest in bed:)). However, energy level drop very quickly and I tires out in 15 mins or less. The power of micro-organism. Like the movie, The War of the Worlds, Martians all powerful machines killing all Earthlings in their path succumb to Earth based viruses and Earth prevails and Martians all die of viral disease.

Flu is cause by virus which is just genetic material floating in the air, or on the surfaces our hands. Everything we touches, we both leave and pick up virus. Once a virus has a host, it become alive and multiply quickly into billions and trillions in matters of hours and days. This make the host sick and if weak, the host will be overcome i.e. dies. The medicine we get from the doctor is to relieves our symptons. Our body will form antibodies and fight the virus and kills them all eventually. In effect, our body will heals itself. Only recently, there is antiviral drug like Tamiflu.
