Flu season was upon us, and I had just fallen victim to it.
One guy at the office came in one morning and was sneezing so much.
Our boss told him it was okay to go home and rest. But, the damage had been done, and I began to feel the tell-tale signs. The next morning, I woke up with pain in my throat. Plus, I was feeling dizzy. These were sure signs that I had the flu, but I chose not to stay home. Day one was okay, but I had a fever the following morning and chose not to go to the office. My brother called to check up on me and requested I turn on the HVAC system. At first, I tried to protect myself because it wasn’t summer, so this was a waste of energy. But, he insisted that HVAC systems are good for flu season. He explained that this was an excellent way to ensure the house had good air quality. I had to use the unit to get rid of the germs circulating in my home. Since I’d told him that I was feeling chilly, my brother explained an HVAC system would help keep the house warm. That was a rookie mistake for me. I had a perfectly functioning heating and air conditioning unit but was wrapped in a blanket, shivering. There was no need for my brother to keep trying to convince me. I groggily got up and went to turn on the HVAC system. Next was adjusting the thermostat so that warm air would flow into the property. Within 15 minutes, I felt warmer though the flu was still beating me up.
