...”don’t jump to conclusions and think that the parents were taking his illness lightly.I get both local newspapers and according to today’s “other” paper he started off with an upset stomach and fever

From there we know the tragic outcome.
He became another victim of this frightening swine flu epidemic.I don’t know anything about this family except what I’ve read,but I have no reason to judge the parents.By all accounts they seem to be a mature, responsible loving couple.Perhaps the boy should have been seen by a dr. at the very first symptom
and I’m sure that if they could be given another chance to do things over they would’ve tore up the road to get him to a Dr. or hospital.”...

my 3 kids had temps of 103.5 and we took them to the e.r and they sent us home, said keep them out of school until the fever is gone 24 hours without meds,
guess what, it is a week and a half later and they still have a fever.
drs/hospitals dont seem to be taking this very seriously. my heart goes out to these parents.”
I think what we are seeing here is healthcare rationing, and it will only get worse as more and more young people are infected with Swine Flu.
