+@brief		Exercise 2:  Outbreak Returns
+
+Flu season is upon us and the number of people getting sick is growing.
+
+On day 1, there was only 6 people had the flu
+On day 2, it jumped to 20.
+On day 3, there were 75
+
+Every day since, the number of people who have the flu is equal to the last 3 days combined
+You will make a program that will ask the user for what day they want a count of people with the flu for. Then display the amount. You must use recursion to solve the calculation of infected for a given day. Assume the user will input a valid day.
