THE WORD ON THE STREET

Have you been struck down by the flu this season? 4pm, Robina Town Centre

CLINT MCDONALD

32, chef, Labrador Yes. It didn’t hang around for too long, except for the cough, which lasted about a month.

IOSIF DARAT

62, retired, Varsity Lakes No, I haven’t had the flu. Who wants to be sick? My whole family have had it, though.

DAVID MCLEERY

51, parking officer, Coombabah No. I don’t usually get the flu, just a few sniffles here and there.

JESSICA HARVERSON

20, commercial cook, Surfers Paradise Yes. I got it badly for about two-and-a-half weeks and then it went away. But it came back.

EMMA MITCHELL

22, stay-at-home-mum, Varsity Lakes No, but I feel like everyone else has. I see a naturopath though, so I dose up on vitamins at the start of winter.

JESSE FRANKLAND

23, bar tender, Palm Beach No, I haven’t. I’ve been lucky because it’s been really going around.
