Default Flu or superbug?

Doing good and alert now. After his wakeup jab.
Streptococus was the cause, and his tonsils are a thing of the past.
Where he got Strep. from is not known. But probably from his mam and dad
who have recently visited Cairo. Who knows?

Streptococus is *everywhere* he probably got it from himself... but that
name is just a genus one would really need to know the species and
strain.

As with a lot of bacteria we tolerate them very well if they are where
they are supposed to be but get into the wrong place with a suitable
enviroment for them to multiply and we get disease.
