stressing about flu season
| Tue, 10-20-2009 - 11:29am |
This is the first year where I have actually feared flu season. My oldest dd(17) had pneumonia last winter so now she is more susceptible to respiratory illness for two years. yesterday 300 students were out with illness. I am worried because not only do we have seasonal flu to contend with, now there is swine flu. Thoughts? if your child were like mine would you have either(swine or seasonal)

I am aware that many strains of the flu go around each year. It is typically mutated versions of the seasonal flu from what I understand.
Where did you see the report that says it's 10 times milder? It seems to be spreading like wildfire in many areas,much more so that the seasonal flu normally does. We have never had so many students out during the regular flu season....just sayin.
I said 10 times less lethal.
10 times milder has the same meaning. I wasn't quoting you directly so
I think it would be helpful if you read this:
I think it would help if you stop reading my posts with a negative connotation.
I will read through the articles thoroughly and get back to you tomorrow.
One thing I do agree on that
Not to split hairs again, but the way
Thanks for sharing these articles. I did notice the 2nd one was an op-ed piece.
aren't most articles really? lol. That is tongue in cheek.
