genuinely the most sick I’ve ever been

me and my bf traveled to Ireland for Christmas to spend it with his family. his mom made jokes about being tired and “inheriting our jet lag”. Turns out she was sick and downplaying it.

I noticed my throat was feeling awful for a few days but i attributed it to the change in climate/dryness. towards the last couple of days i noticed i was fatigued but chalked it up to traveling.

we both flew home today and mid way through the flight we both got insane chills/hot sweats, sore throat(feels like knives or blades), bad coughs, just over all feeling deathly. we both increasingly got worse as soon as the flight landed and our 3 hour drive home.

we are both throwing up and barely able to move. Is this the flu or something else?😭 I’m going to 100% get fired if i call out of work tomorrow but it sounding like i have no choice at this point.
