Flu shots anyone?

I got my flu shot last week so I'm really not too worried.  Bit I do find it interesting that there is now a flu cure on the market named Xofluza.  Have you ever noticed how many new medication have names that begin with X.  I guess it's good to see X coming into its own.  It was a very neglected letter for a long time.  But I digress.  I find the commercials for this medicine to be quite interesting. First, in order to be effective, you must contact your doctor for a prescription within 48 hours of your first symptoms.  This makes sense to me since, in my experience, the flu often only lasts a day ro two.  The other thing I find interesting about this flu cure is the list of possible side effects.  They include fever, nausea, bronchitis and diarrhea.  Doesn't this sound a little like the flu?
