Henry Beverly, 73, battles the flu while tended to by nurse Kathleen Burks at Upson Regional Medical Center in Thomaston, Ga., Friday, Feb. 9, 2018. "I believe if I stand up right now I'd just collapse," said Beverly after days of battling the flu. Beverly came to the emergency room earlier in the week and was scheduled to go home after being treated before his symptoms took a quick turn for the worse. "I felt like my body was just going to blow up. A lot of people don't realize what the flu really is. It takes a lot to put me on my feet. I believe I would have died if I went home."
