Thanks guys. Her mom actually just called for another reason and I was able to voice my concerns. We agreed that we need to do whats best for her as far as foods go. Decided that while she's here she wont have access to anything sweet or candy. She's equally as concerned about the whole epidemic...

Yeah thats exactly my thought. If it werent HERE I wouldnt worry about it. Flu's happen. Its when we end up with the regular flu AND another unrelated strain at the same time that gets me worried. And with this one being the same family as the 1918 pandemic who knows if it'd cause or...

I dont think...

Yeah I dont want to freak out about it. Kids do need exposure to things whenever possible, thats not my deal. Iam just waiting for this this to mutate. I guess there hasnt been any case here in the US where someone has caught it domestically and then been so sick they died. That little...
She was sick but not so sick that she couldnt attend school. It was just a long lingering cold- we all ended up with it, but I think she actually got it from US. The time before that she was home one day and then over the weekend with it. My thought was just that she's already weakened. I dont...
Iam batting around this idea, and I was wondering what other moms or parents think.
I keep a kid after school, her parents work and she's often among other people out and about with kids and stuff. She's had this ridiculous cough for at least two weeks now, and was sick with a cold for 10 days...
