PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: ED Enrollment Visit through Day 14 ( 2015-2016 influenza season)

Population: All subjects enrolled and randomized.

The Karnofsky Performance Scale is a tool for assessing subject functional impairment. Subjects provided or received (from a healthcare provider such as a doctor or nurse) a daily rating from 0 (Dead) to 100 (Normal - no complaints, no evidence of disease) from enrollment through Day 14 of the 2015-2016 influenza season.
