Curious - what type of test did they use? If they used a swab - where exactly did they get their sample?

From you post it looks like you picked up a particularly virulent strain. Hopefully, I will be able to avoid it.
Swab the nostrils. That's how they test for covid and the flu now. Not sure exactly where they got their sample. They had it sealed in plastic.
The worst case of the flu that I ever remember having was shortly after I got home after serving 4 years in the military. I spent the last 3 of those 4 years in Hawaii and came home in December to 0° weather. I don't think my immune system was prepared.
I do not know where you were the first year - but, it certainly sounds like God blessed you richly those last three years - at least where climate/weather is concerned...
Nah, trying to give it up.......... I'm retired and so I can follow the advice on every medicine container and package: "Keep away from children". Schools are centres for disease propagation. So are shopping centres. Unwell Asians were wearing masks decades before the Covid panic. Perhaps that is why Japan has the greatest number of 100 year olds of any nation.
Perhaps they do not eat a regular diet of sugar and laboratory chemicals in their food...
(Like most of the rest of the world does...?)
Just about every time we get sick with something it started with the grandkids.
Oh, gooooooooood! That means you [at least] get a forewarning of what is coming before it catches up to you...
no. drink 6 to 8 cups a day of white tea, 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey & eat at least 3 oranges a day. humans can not store vitamin c. animals can. this is 1 reason why humans get sicker than animals.
Glad to hear your not in bed and your a convert to vit C.I'm 60. My grandson had it first, then my son got it, then my daughter in law's parents got it and now I have it. We all visited St Lukes convenient care and we all tested positive for Flu A. They put us all on tamiflu. This is the strangest case of flu that I ever had. I only ran a higher temperature of 101.4 for one day and now I basically feel fine except for a cough, a headache and a slight earache. Whenever I had the flu in the past, I ran a fever for a week and felt terrible. I am all about vitamin C supplements.
As you travel through the sixties you will need to take a vit B complex.
As the general population has a deficiency in vit B12, complex means you get vit B3 and vit B6 as a bonus.
Around 67 I was told to take that supplement.
There was a study conducted in Britain on a population of 200,000 people by the NHS.
This study ran for 20 years. They examined exercise and diet.
The result was that vigorous exercise is 4 times better than moderate exercise, and 40 times
better than light exercise. One of the doctors involved in the study said; if your doing vigorous
exercise every day for 30 mins or more, you probably won't get cancer or heart disease.
No one expected the results of that study.
I fell asleep around 9:30 PM and woke up at 2 AM. Since I got the flu i feel like a senior citizen at a nursing home who can't seem to get a full night's sleep but can only sleep off and on in intervals. 
They also respect their elders. #5 says if you do so you'll have a long life
