The normal yearly influenza virus in Canada follows traditional patterns and always goes from West to East. We tend to get whatever Flu outbreak they had in Vancouver a month prior. I'm not even sure if the West has had the yearly Flu hit yet, but it hasn't started here.

The scary strain (Which is here now) involves a sudden intense arrival of the symptoms, followed by intense pain, joint pain, and 5 days of misery.
A friend of mine had it, and they quarantined here.
Dunno, maybe they have a slightly different version there, but I thought it had to be diagnosed with a test in the hospital.
