I'm John C. Dvorak. I don't know what I have John, but the people are calling it the 10-day flu, the three-week flu, the you feel really lethargic flu. What is going on with this man? It's what my wife has. She still has it. She's had it for almost three weeks. She says that she's looked it up and done some research and apparently with some people it lasts 60 days. No, no stop. That's what she said.
01:17 Well, how come the CDC didn't issue some kind of vaccine or something to stop this? I think it caught him off guard. It's not really, you know, I was, you know, spent like, you know, when she was in her worst, in her worst mood. moments. How long was it was that like after a week or was that just the beginning or when was the worst? Because this feels like the worst. It actually gets to a plateau and then about a week after the plateau then you just have this lethargic problem for about another two weeks. Oh please I can't handle that. It's not particularly contagious it seems. Uh, well, Mickey has it and she thought she was gonna get over it. She was like, yesterday she was like, oh yeah, I'm all great.
