    Feel like you’re getting the flu? It might be the "11-Day Virus."

    The virus, which is making the rounds in cities like Houston and Austin, makes people sick for almost two weeks.

    Symptoms include a dry cough, sore throat, high fever, runny nose and fatigue.

    Doctors say flu shots won’t protect you from the virus, and antibiotics don’t help.

    The only remedies are over-the-counter medicines and plenty of rest.

    As long as I don't turn into a zombie, I'll be ok. Contact capsules always work well for me.

    Just getting over a bad cold - I guess this is what I had because the symptoms are identical.
