Marianne/Ju: Talk to Dave Fluitt about Flu Shot Myths.
Flu season is around the corner and now is the time to get your flu shot. The flu vaccine is now available, yet many people do not get vaccinated. We looked at some myths and discussed the importance of flu shots.
Flu Myths:
1. You can catch the flu from the vaccine.
2. Healthy people don’t need to be vaccinated.
3. Getting the flu vaccination is all you need to do to protect yourself from the flu.
4. You can catch the flu from going out in cold weather without a coat,
with wet hair or by sitting near a drafty window.
5. Feed a cold, starve a fever.

Final Question: ? Is always a classic.

Sunday NFL:
Starting off week 5 of the NFL season the Seattle Seahawks traveled to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. In a back & fourth
game the Colts came out on top 34-28. The San Francisco 49ers took on the Struggling Texans of Houston and the issues continues for Houston falling to SF 34-3. In a rare late night game the Raiders faced off with the San Diego Chargers. At first site this was a total mismatch but the Raiders played much better than expected winning 27-17. In the game of the day, year (so far) the Denver Broncos took on Tony Romo & the Cowboys from Dallas. This game was a classic battle between the 2 teams. Before throwing his first INT of the year Peyton Manning threw his 17, 18, 19, & 20th TD pass of the year. But was bested by Tony Romo who broke a Cowboy record being the first in their history to throw for 500+ yards but a late INT allowed Peyton to drive down to get the
game winning FG to defeat the Cowboys 51-48.

Final Thoughts:
While covering the My58 portion today I felt bored & did not really enjoy the show. Did they have content that I like to provide my readers with? Yes, but they've had better. Fox was better and when I started writing this several months ago they hardly ever provided contact info. Today they did and though they are nowhere near the level Good Day Sacramento is when it comes to
providing info to help the viewers on locations, key dates & details it's much appreciated that you do a far better job now than when I started writing Today in the News.
Good Day Sacramento once again is by far my go to morning station. Not only do they give news you can use but they make it fun and when a person such as myself suffers from depression it's good to laugh. How can you not when a reporter hangs out with Chickens (Mel) or Mark S Allen taking a blow up doll to a live shot only to trade a movie for a woman's bra and get the
facial expression of the year from Courtney Dempsey.
Now on to another cool part of today's show and our favorite Queen,  Jenn B aka The Queen of Dating gave tips how to dress for success at a Halloween party. Got to love Jenn & her ideas along with Amy running the segment.
I also want to address 3 other things on today's Good Day.... During Mark's live shot we met a viewer (Scott) who realized his life style was not up to par & needed to change it. He did and I am proud of him. Scott knew he needed tools to become healthy and after careful consideration he got Gastric Bypass Surgery and has lost 200+ lbs. I too had this surgery 4 years ago and it is by far the best decision I've ever made other than becoming the ultimate fan of Good Day Sacramento. Yes I still have many issues in front of me health wise but weight is not one of them. Congrats Scott.... Job well done.
I am so glad to see Good Day Sacramento / Tina Macuha and Panda Express team up to bring back Grub Run. Reminder you must sign up on a PC the link does not load properly on a mobile device. Good Luck to all who enter.
The other thing I wanted to talk about was Ju getting a flu shot live on air proving she would set an example for all who still wonder if they should get one.
Monday Night Football highlights tomorrow and more from Today in the News...... Bye Bye.
