Flu in the tropics is the WORST! You think, hey, it's the tropics, it's warm, go out in the yard and grab a mango, lie in bed with your mango smoothie or whatever, but wow flu in the tropics is just nasty.
When I was last in Hawaii (it would be a nice place after a little neutron bomb delousing) and got something ..... was in bed a week and when I was able to go out and do something, like have a bowl of coconut milk soup at Keo's, I had all this blood coming out of my nose, it was awful, I was thinking, if they catch sight of this bloody napkin I keep leaking into they'll put me in some kind of container at the local CDC.... yuk.
I gradually got better, good cold soul food was Coke and Japanese munchies, various types of sugar-blasted crispy snacks in bags.
