the authorities have changed tact as from today as they cant contain it anymore is a treatment basis now so school wont close unless all teachers go down with it.

Worrying, but hopefully it will be very mild and few people will be affected.

Hoping Tiddler is OK.

Let us hope that it will be mild, it seems to be worse for those with underlying health problems and weak immune systems.
Has the little one who has got it been given Tamiflu dawnie?

it's in Jamie's school as well. don't know how many but apparently 'several' children have it. we had a letter from the health dept to say that the school won't be closed as there is now so much of it in the community that there would be no benefit from a closure. not sure how they know these kids have it cos they said over a week ago that there was to be only random testing from now on. I suppose they are just assuming.

As if you don't have enough troubles Dawn.
Tiddler is a strong healthy little soul, so if she gets it, it will come and go as quickly as it can... and she will be fine.
So don't waste your time worrying about it love.

they are doing a yes or no over phone with what symptons you tell them you have.

Deanna
evenif she got it she woul bounce back and no point in keeping her off as they are contagious before hand so she has more than likely been around them anyway so if shes going to get it she will
