Heather Holland, a second-grade teacher at Ikard Elementary School with the Weatherford Independent School District died over the weekend, the Weatherford Democrat reports. >Holland got sick about a week ago and took medication, but delayed picking up the prescription due to the $116 copay, according to the newspaper.
>By Friday night, Holland's condition worsened and she was taken to the hospital. Her husband Frank Holland told the Weatherford Democrat that she died Sunday morning.
im a third grade teacher, and lmao teaching children in the winter means you're gonna be constantly sick how the fuck do you die from something that should happen like 6-10 times a year to you
Robert Lopez
what a pussy, I live in the same area and got the flu, didn't take any medicine that wasn't OTC didn't even go to the doctor Til the end.
Brayden Clark
im assuming some other shit went wrong or some underlying condition because the chances of a young healthy adult dying of a normal flu is almost zero
Nolan Gutierrez
>probably took 2 vacations in the past year >couldn't afford $116
Oh well, one less democrat voter.
Evan Jackson
>dying from the flu
Thomas Cruz
She was a school teacher and married. There is no way it would take her a week to get $116. No way they didn't both have relatives they could have borrowed the money from, or friends, or asking for an advance or even a fucking payloan check
If she was sick enough to go to the doctor to get meds prescribed, why the fuck would she wait a week to pick them up?
Asher Bell
This
You don't die from the flu unless your immune system is already weak
Adam Thompson
>because 33% effectiveness is a really good chance you're not going to die
Elijah Morales
thats weird. this has been a bad flu season. there have been other young people deaths from it.
You laugh until that shit evolves to target your particular immune system next year
It's all a roll of the dice at this point
Noah Nelson
Teachers literally make like 30k a year, she can probably barely afford her bills as it is.
Leo Price
>thats weird. this has been a bad flu season. there have been other young people deaths from it. a lot of this probably has to do with the first crop of young adults who lived mostly sanitized lives with parents not letting them play outside too much and shit and hand sanitizers etc...
neet lifestyle aint gonna get you ready for the outside world
Daniel Cooper
im a teacher and i make a terrible salary but there is no way I wouldn't be able to get someone to float me $200 for a week if I needed to buy medication
Gabriel Nguyen
intersting take
Jayden Thomas
>cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm Except the vaccine is their best guess at what the strain of the year is. This year, they missed. 90% of all cases involve the H3N2 strain this year.
Carter Roberts
>fiance's a teacher in the poorest state and still makes 32k, clears 2200 a month
Wyatt Ortiz
Are the Jews testing biological terrorism? I refuse to believe that this is just the flu. You pretty much never heard of healthy adults dying from the flu until this year. In the past, it was usually only kids and the elderly, and even then, it was a rarity. I've noticed the media is really going into overdrive to scare people into getting vaccinated too. Really makes you wonder what's in it if they want to inject you so badly.
Ian Murphy
>30K a year >Married >cant afford
You must be retarded. I make less than half that and I can afford to spend 100 on medicine I need.
Christopher Carter
Nice healthcare u got here. Remind me how much I will pay if I need an ambulance?
Aaron Wright
fuk I'm never leaving the house.
Luke Jones
It's amazing. When I was a NEET who didn't leave the house, I was sick all the time. When I started working and interacting with hundreds of people a day in dirty airports and warehouses and getting sun, I stopped getting sick.
Nathaniel Butler
go get your flu shots good goyim
Jayden Anderson
Teachers really only make 15-16 an hour? I thought they made at least 40-50k a year
Juan Ross
Maybe she didn't think it was so dire that she needed to spend $100 on meds until it was too late
Aaron Scott
More like damage control on their part. Scientists picked the strain that was outcompeted early in 2017 when flu season began, which meant that it had a 33.3% chance then, of being effective, but now has a 0% chance of working, because it’s the only strain being transmitted now. Learn about virology and communicability.
Aiden Ward
i remember either reading an article about a trend of millennial parents giving their children some kind of 'dirt' pill or whatever just so their systems get used to it and shit because they live in cities and their children are almost never playing outside and shit the reason why the spanish influenza killed a bunch of people even though it was a strain that had been going around for ages is that it had been long enough that most of the young generation had never encountered it and died as a result considering the obsession with parents to make sure their children are not in any pain or discomfort or any perceived danger whatsoever its not a surprise that they'd have shitty immune system (on top of not exercising or a healthy diet)
Jackson Scott
It's the fucking flu bro
90% of the time I'm not going to even get medicine for a fucking flu. If they try to make me pay $116 for flu medicine I'm leaving that shit too. It's not a real illness.
Justin Howard
>Remind me how much I will pay if I need an ambulance? If I recall around $3-5k depending of course.
Justin Rivera
There is something sinister about this flu. It appears to finish people off quickly before they have a chance to fight it.
Asher Rivera
dont pretend your country even has ambulances, boris
Bentley Stewart
30k +Pension +Health insurance +Working 9/12 months a year +Federal holidays +Sick days +Personal days +Tenure +Possible union +Planning period +Federal loan forgiveness
Charles Price
Depends on location. A teacher making 30k is either in the private sector or in a rural city. If you live in Cali within the city you're hitting near 100k after a few years. About 40-50k for average size cities in Texas.
Jose Ramirez
North Texas has some of the most well paid teachers in the country. I believe they start at close to 50k per annum in the entire region
David Nelson
okay pal
Josiah Flores
Thanks Drumpf
Christian Anderson
yeah that's because you went from almost never being exposed to shit (so catching it once it attacked you) to your body learning to fight that shit on a daily basis and getting stronger
thats like saying before i went to the gym i struggled lifting a gallon of water but now i dont even notice it
Hunter Taylor
ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE
GET REKT MUTT TRAITORS
Hunter Young
better than nothing.
Landon Long
Lies This year's flu vaccine may only be 10% effective, experts warn. archive.is/ylOzw

Henry Jenkins
Did she get the flu shot?
Jaxson Anderson
getting the vaccine still lowers the severity of the symptoms idiot. Not a single person that got the vaccine has died from the flu.
David Collins
hahahahahaha!
Matthew Turner
clearly she did think it was bad if she went to the doctor in the first place
>It's the fucking flu bro i know that's my point. the fact she went to the doctor means she felt it was bad enough she had to go to the clinic. why the fuck go there if you're not gonna get meds?
I know I don't go to the fucking clinic cause I got the flu otherwise I'd be there every other week
Jose Rodriguez
To be honest, this is the best reply of all.
I wouldn't even take the day off work, I'd just keel over while I was on the job because fuck sick days.
Leo Gutierrez
Oh crap, I really don't want to got sick if I were you. Nice to have a free healthcare btw
Jordan Morgan
weird how they made prescription costs a factor in the story when i'm sure her medical coverage is ACA compliant
Colton Torres
>2 vacations Try the entire fucking summer
Landon Green
If you have insurance they will pay $2K for a short ambulance ride plus and equipment the ambulance guys use on you. If you don't have insurance it's free because they'll just dump you out the back on the road.
Benjamin Johnson
She should have fucked one of her students to gain immunity
Blake Rodriguez
wouldn't have helped.
Chinese or Obama's SJW allied scientists probably let a handful of strains that fuck up white people out of a lab.
White genocide is real.
Matthew White
dude, summer's off are necessary because teaching is not actually easy shit if you're doing it properly, and how the fuck can you include being assraped by fucking terrible unions as a positive thing?
Sebastian Miller
>be ukrainian >be crushed by jetliner debris
Jaxson Kelly
>not taking colloidal silver
Jacob Parker
Flu shots and tamiflu don't stop the flu.
Medicine treats symptoms. Some dude died of sepsis, not choking on mucus.
Was she a vegan?
Camden Cooper
It's drumpfs fault that Obama signed the aca into law. Pleb.
Thomas Cox
Yeah, but my 14 year old has been very sick with this flu for over 3 weeks, and the boy practically lives outside: plays with dogs and goats, digs in the dirt, cuts grass, swims in springs, all that shit. This flu is pretty hard core. In fact I have been wondering if it is an escaped cultivated virus of some kind.
Logan James
there is not a single american who would want free healthcare if it meant being treated in a ukrainian hospital by some drunken moon-faced slavic nigger
Aaron Thomas
>Not a single person that got the vaccine has died from the flu. I wish. not true, unfortunately.
Nicholas Davis
What are the legit downsides to getting the vaccine? I really don't understand why you wouldn't even if it's only 10% effective
Logan Hill
Thats not how it works. Digits will confirm that you are a faggot.
Lincoln King
Nigger do you Google? Tamaflu doesn't treat the symptoms. It stops the virus from replicating.
Joshua Cooper
NIIIIIICCCCEEEEE wait it's not one of those threads? whatever nice anyway
Isaac Phillips
1.) "The Flu" is actually a N. Korean bio-weapon that they spread to the USA through high-altitude weather balloons and chemtrails.
2.) There is no medication that can fully eliminate the effects of the weapon. That's why the flu "vaccine" never actually works.
Thomas Nelson
Are this strain kills younger individuals with healthy immune system because of cytokine storm. Your immune system kills you basically.
Austin Perry
Punctuation
Luis Sullivan
Flu shots are bullshit. They innoculate you with a random 2010 strain of a Flu virus that could mutate into a badass Flu in 2011.
Austin Miller
All the basic risks of injecting something into your bloodstream.
Henry Butler
I said that about young adults. children and teenagers are nother story and they are constantly sick
im a teacher so for me flu season is literally october to may for me
once you hit your 20s and you're living an average life your chances of dying of it are ridiculously small.
>80% of people who die from the flu are 65+ >of the last 20%, children, infants, the obese and those weakened by other conditions are the vast majority
Zachary Butler
it hasnt worked much for me in years past, but it did this season. i have escaped the flu for once.
downside? i believe the downside is you stand a chance of getting sick FROM the vaccine.
Evan Cruz
I have never heard of a flu this savage...its killing alot of white people. This cant just happen. This is fucking planned. These motherfuckers need to be stopped. This is scarier than any bomb or war.
Robert Cook
It's some "antiviral" many think is some scam placebo.
It does treat symptoms. It gets people high.
David Reed
Top european ambulance service and totally free of charge. Good luck dying because of some little scratch, Billy
Jaxon Nelson
Can you explain this please? Curious because of my very healthy kid being extremely sick with this flu. The kid never gets sick.
Samuel Fisher
the weak should fear the stronk
Xavier James
Ouch
Juan Lewis
t. fucking redditor
Nathaniel Roberts
do you not pay attention to the news? This flu is killing indiscriminately. I have it, and hope its terminal.
Juan Hughes
this is very wrong, 26% of the deaths have been from those who have received the vaccine
Nicholas Foster
You sound like a cry baby. Find a better job if you can't handle it, bitch. Plus, that'd be one less cry-babby bitch indoctrinating marxist children.
Daniel Carter
Flu is racist
David Baker
>getting the vaccine still lowers the severity of the symptoms idiot I thought the vaccine was supposed to boost your immunity so that you don't get sick.
Carson Russell
jesus christ, what the hell is wrong with the vaccine?
Bentley Harris
>Top european ambulance service
Jack Morales
But this boy never gets sick amd has no allergies. I have been a big believer in strengthenimg the immune system through use... and so far it has worked. I think there is something unusual about this flu.
Justin Morris
Third world culture, third world values, third world country. In every way except for having money. Saudi America.
Joseph Rivera
obviously a supervirus is the most effective weapon
Matthew Bell
nukes r is better
Adam Young
>2018 >watching the news
yeah clearly a guy complaining about unions being about as good as AIDS and mocking european universal healthcare is into marxism good catch faggot
and white people have a very very very long history of dealing with disease. possibly more than any other race on the planet, I think they'll be just fine.
Nolan Barnes
>mfw I got a free complementary flu shot at my pharmacy how fucked am i?
Asher Gonzalez
you're not gonna die lmfao
Hudson Lee
I guess that $116 bucks seems really cheap now. >Bet she paid more for he fucking hairstyle
Leo Rivera
we're not even at peak flu season yet, everyone is projecting it to only get worse and for the death tolls to rise. i'm not trying to sound hysterical but it's very worrisome and everyone should be very cautious with their health and whatever preventative immunity strengthening they can
Luke Martinez
Dallasfaggot here, got sick last week, teledoc prescribed me tamaflu, felt great after 2 days. Btw my normal blood pressure is 160/105. Gonna live forever.
