It seems that this area of WA. state is the epicenter of this thing it has been reported that the care workers in these assisted living facilities are of Chinese decent!! Makes me wonder if they traveled to China over the holidays and brought the damn thing back with them!! I honestly believe this thing has been in our country since Dec. and many have recovered, I believe many of the elderly have also passed away hospitals blaming it on the flu!!!
