Perhaps I’m the only one with lots of neighbors from Mexico. They go back there from time to time. Their kids go to school with my kids. Am I paranoid in being a bit concerned? Does anyone think U.S. or local health departments will even mention this?
I’m worried about it. We have a crap ton of illegals here in MN and we had lots of kids head to Mexico for Spring Break. Many children of these illegals attend school with my kids, too.
In our house, we’ve been sick with some sort of virus for a while now, just can’t seem to shake it. Now, I have to say that we usually get some sort of what we call “the crud” in the spring, but this is just never-ending. It seems like some kind of a cold, exhibiting all the normal cold/flu symptoms except the vomiting and diarrhea. And we ALL have had it.
I took my high school aged son to the dr lastnight because he had been running a fever Saturday of 103.5º, did not get out of bed, and just wasn’t himself. When he went to the dr lastnight, he wasn’t running as high of a fever and they ran a test for strep and mono. Both came back negative, but he is home from school again today. One of the first things she asked my son was if he had friends who were sick or had been sick, girlfriend, people who had been on vacation. I even asked the dr about the swine flu, were they testing possible flu patients for it, and she said, “No, not really.” Not really? What kind of an answer is that?
I just have a bad feeling about this virus.
