Antibiotic resistant Staph, brain eating amoeba, bull sharks in the Mississippi, and now a mutant cold virus – boy in the bubble isn’t looking all that silly anymore. ;)

I wish the CDC wasn’t politically influenced.

In the same time 90,000 Americans have died from pneumonia and 54,000 from the flu.

There is no cure for the common cold. All you can do is wait it out.

Interesting. My son was at Lackland from the middle of February till April. Said he was sick for the first 4 weeks he was there.

I thought he was exaggerating.

I have that illness right now. Just got off the phone after calling the Doctors office.

She said it has been around for about two years.

What I needed was bed rest, aspirin and fluids.

She said it has been going around for about two years.

So...after I post this I will be back in bed.

There is another thread on this.

CDC says mutated cold virus is a killer

This is a very dangerous bug and nothing to joke about.

I am very close ( 50 miles) to this. Public officials have kept their yaps shut.

Any ideas? The first report was that an employee came to work on Sat. with an infection. They closed the store and made arrangements to destroy all the merchandise, even the fixtures. Rumors are running rampant.

IMHO, there are only a few “infections” that one can visibly see without testing or at least a microscopic examination before destroying 100,000.00 worth of stuff.

And.....that would be so deadly that everything had to be destroyed. They denied that it was MRSA.

In the CDC report, the earliest case of the mutated virus was found in an infant girl in New York City, who died last year. The child seemed healthy right after birth, but then became dehydrated and lost appetite.

Patients usually are treated with aspirin, liquids and bed rest.

Thanks for posting this.

Is there a "thirst center" in the brain?

Maybe the bug weakens the victims by making them lose their "sense of thirst" as well as their appetite.
