It's strange, Fiona.... I haven't been told to avoid anywhere, not even by the haemotologist on Friday, and I am one of those with a *serious underlying health problem* lol... SF wasn't even mentioned... I was just advised to continue taking natural hygiene precautions... which for me now means trying to avoid anyone who is clearly unwell, children with chickenpox, and making sure I scrub my hands regularly! And I have a depressed immune system, even though it is getting a little bit better!

I dont want to alarm anyone but the headlines in our local paper today says that SF has been diagnosed in 40 local schools in the county.

That is one heck of a lot of schools, even if there arent that many children ill at present with SF.

I guess most Drs. will have read the Pandemic Booklet, issued over a year ago by the Dept. of Health regarding the outbreak of a Pandemic (in that case it was Bird Flu). Quite frightening reading actually. "They" did say a pandemic was coming - and "they" were right.

I suggest anyone with a kiddie who is off colour is taken to the Quacks just in case - just like Muffy did. Let the Drs decide if it is, or isnt SF.

at least 2 schools in town have it including tiddlers and the case at her school lives up road from us, he is apparently awake today and drinking so hopefully he will bounce back quickly, his poor mum is shattered as to of her others are ill with tonsilitus.

My eldest has bad cold and feels awful better not take her to dr they might say its swine flu lol

Hope daughter feels better soon.
