Still sick and feeling chills and fever

Owen makes the headlines again as the most sympathetic reader... I wish only that people who are sick could just stay home but it doesn't work that way at the college level and often in the world of work, the very sorts of workers who most should stay home if they are sick are most likely to need to go in and to suffer sanctions for abscence. It's up there with only half an hour for lunch break and other barbaric aspects of the life of American workers. These aren't even the worst things. If one gets sick one often doesn't have health insurance of any kind or only inadequate insurance. At least there is a clinic open a few days at school. It's $20 a visit for students and you don't have to have insurance but as everyone knows, there is no cure for the common cold or the flu, so why waste that $20 when maybe something worse could come up and you'd need to go for that as well?
They didn't really know what was wrong with me last time, it seems every spring I get the chills and fever thing for like the last five years, and then I got the flu in addition.
