Just yesterday my mom/88 gets a call from her friend/98 that her husband/88 is vomiting/fever. So mom drives over & assesses the situation/retired RN, he needs care so she loads them into her car, 14 degrees out. The ER is full, all neighboring hospitals/urgent care centers full. So 6 & 1/2 hours later they return home w/o care? Mom made them potato soup, chicken thighs/rice, feeling better.
Yeah, the thing is hospitals ER can do nothing for a viral infection that your immune system cant do. Unless you are suffering complications from the flu (pneumonia, kidney failure, etc) there is nothing they can do that you cant do at home.
