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.
