I just hope that no other kids die.
But I do have to wonder, is more of this in the future? I am afraid so.
Darn that “temporary unavailable”!!!
Sorry for the three posts.

I am so worried about this! My great nephew came down with this infection along with others on his school football team in Culpeper, VA. His started with a little sore on his arm, arm swelled with fever. It was lanced and drained and he has been on medication. This happened about four weeks ago, and now this outbreak.
I hope they don't either.

I think the number of cases has been growing yearly.
At one time the cases were mainly the elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. A great number of the cases involved the respiratory tract or lungs without open sores to see. The patients are usually placed in contact isolation and sometimes respiratory isolation using masks, gloves and gowns for nurses and visitors.
Some people opt to stay at home and they are usually seen by home health nurses as they are qualified to administer IV antibotics in the home.
For years when flying I have used bacitracin or triple antibiotic ointment in my nose. Just a precautionary measure for any disease since you are in such a small area without good ventilation.
Just read today that two kids at Wilde Lake High school in Colulmbia, MD (Howard county) have been diagnosed as well.
