Pretty sure the whole team is going to get Roethlisitis this week.

Thank goodness it's only Wednesday. Hopefully he is full strength come Sunday night.

I'm not a pro athlete, but the flu takes a good two weeks to recover from in my experience.

It's not food poisoning or a bug... they said "the flu."

I get the flue every weekday at about 10:30 a.m.

They're saying it's the flu, but when I saw him at the game, he was showing symptoms of AIDS leprosy. Very likely means he's done for the season, and possibly for his career

LMAO

I need to take a poop right now. Should I do it? Like, right here in my chair?

Not really. Depends on which strain of the flu you get. I have never had the flu get me down for more than 2-3 days.

Yes

Get well soon

Swab it out and get on some antibiotics.

That's a stomach bug, not the flu.

Antibiotics won't help if it's a viral flu.

That said, I'm sure the Chiefs training staff will have him hooked up to an IV for a few days to help flush his body and stay hydrated.

Awh man.. Just what we need. You got this, Peters!

Well now we know he can catch literally anything thrown at him.

Too soon.

Is there any other type of flu?

Ginal

Bacterial

.

I thought influenza was a virus?

Inject that mfr with some vitamin C

Well, that's were we're tripped up in this conversation.

If it's a viral flu, like rhinovirus, then yes, it's a virus. It's a stomach flu or a "bug", it's bacterial.

The issue at hand is that people commonly refer to the "flu" as something other than influenza. The stomach flu isn't an influenza, yet people call it a flu, just as people refer to a "24 hour bug" as the flu.

The Chiefs beat reporter said he has "the flu", which could mean any of the above.

Hopefully, it's just a 24 hour thing.

Ah, ok. Sorry, I don't really get sick often. Don't think I've had either the flu or a "stomach bug".

You must be really special.

That's what I'm told

I hear the flu knocks you out for days. Legit bed-ridden or close to it.

I've had many colds but never anything like that, thankfully.

Hopefully this is just a couple days type of thing.

No Peters = guaranteed loss

The Brown Flu...

A lot of people use "the flu" as a catch all term for stomach bugs. Hopefully that's the case here, and it's not actual influenza.

I'd never had a real "influenza" until 2014. Suffice to say, it was absolutely brutal. I'd go from freezing so badly that my bones and teeth were literally clacking, to sweating profusely, back and forth, all throughout the day for nearly a week. Then it moved into my joints and ended up with bronchitis, which took another six weeks to eradicate.

Good times.

ain't no thang. Jordan had one of his best games ever with the flu

I've had some kind of nasty shit since Sunday night. Thought it was my throat hurting from yelling at the game, but I've been in bed all week with fever, chills, aches, cough...it's pretty terrible, whatever it is.

He was on fire last week so yeah i could see how he got the flu. I hope he eat some cookies and rest and get ready for sunday.

It's wednesday.

Catching the flu is probably safer than anything you'd catch from touching Big Ben.

Suck it up Peters...

He's gonna shit all over the Steelers Sunday night anyway.


They are just gonna blame it on the flu

great... just ****ing great.

We go onto the next game against arguably THE best WR in the League (top 3), and our top CB is likely to be compromised. Of course.

Yeah, but does he have a fever? A fever for INTS!!

He may have the Boogie Woogie Flu, which, as we all know, can sometimes be accompanied by the Rockin' Pneumonia....

Wasn't going to cover him anyway, most probably.

Probably caught it from Fitzpatrick.

Our season is ****ed !

Heh.

So this is probably my best joke on here in years, and I just want to make sure it gets noticed.

LMAO

LOL...

I have the flu too -- sucks. Worst sore throat I've had in years along with general malaise...

you didn't do it right that is 6 to 8 weeks....
flu like symptoms, you can shake off fast
