Middle English forest was not, as today, a near-synonym of wood, but referred specifically to a large area of woodland reserved by law for the purposes of hunting by the king and his nobles. The same applied to the European cognates, both Germanic and Romance.
Flu symptoms usually last 3 to 7 days, but sometimes up to 10 days. Cough from the flu could last longer than the other symptoms, perhaps up to 2 weeks. If cough continues beyâ¦ond that time, you should contact your health care professional to be sure you do not have a secondary respiratory infection.
So if you're around somebody who has the flu and the next day you feel pretty good, you're not out of the woods yet. You can actually develop symptoms up to four to five days after being exposed to somebody who has the flu.
