I hadn't heard about the hockey players.......but I heard something [a week ago?] on the news about a financial corporation on Wall St. that bought a bunch of the vaccine for its employees.
 
 
In all fairness, I can almost appreciate the need for the vaccine. Those business are in ultra-high-rise buildings and everyone is squished into the elevators like sardines......ergo, real contamination. Surely a couple people on each elevator cycle is in close contact with a pregnant woman........

"City officials, who are responsible for placing orders of the vaccine with the CDC, have stressed that distributions to workplaces are in line with normal procedures, part of a deliberate attempt to mitigate illness in as widespread a manner as possible."

So far we are all doing well. I have been very busy with the baby. The doctor called us in some Tamiflu Monday. So all that the baby and myself had was a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough. Maybe it is over kill for me to take Tamiflu when I already had a vaccine but the doc put me on it anyway. Expensive stuff. Mom has a bit of a cough today so I am keeping an eye on her.
 
Well I am trying to catch up on these post. Sorry I have not checked in with you all lately but taking care of a twelve month old is a lot of work. I fell asleep on the chair last night and woke up with a stiff neck. I am so paranoid. I thought wow I must have menningitis, then woke up and laughed because no wonder my neck hurt.

For my dad, it's chicken and noodles (very thick, more like stew than soup) served over mashed potatoes.  Kinda like chicken-potato "soup."  Wink

We called my Aunt to let her know about the kids. She has a son on chemotherapy and watches his young one often as the parents are out of town at the cancer center. She said the newspaper said we had no H1N1 in the area. Of course they had to lifeline a seven year old out to a city hospital. They have not closed any of the schools down. I guess alot of parents are wanting the schools closed down. Someone told me that a teacher said that the majority of the illnesses were caused by the seasonal flu. HMMMMMMMM?
 
I suppose but I had not heard of the seasonal flu being in the area until I heard that statement. I do know that all of the children on the school bus that ride with my nephews and niece had H1N1. I know of one clinic that is not treating H1N1 unless people test positive. Those are probably the ones getting the sickest. Also one of my sisters nieghbors went to the clinic and tested negative and then later tested positive at the hospital. She was one of the first kids on the school bus to become ill.
 
Seems like they are trying to keep this a secret. I have no idea why? At least the hospital and my gp's office are on board. I do know that strep and bronchitis were also going around before the H1N1 hit town so I am sure not all of the absences were because of the swineflu. I just wish the clinic had a better attitude and of course I believe the newspaper should be more honest because people need to know to go to the doctor if they or there children become ill.
