It is twice as deadly as the seasonal flu for epileptics.
I have a daughter with epilepsy.
Kids with epilepsy and other neurological disorders are dying twice what they would with seasonal flu.
That’s strange.
That’s true. They have a campus of K-12 on Long Island (disabled children), that have lost kids. I keep asking why they would keep a school open with kids in wheelchairs... who are obviously more in danger re: upper resp. infections.
It sounds like a virus the Nazis would have come up with...and then made sure there was a shortage of vaccine.
Oh wait....
How can you even say that? NOBODY knows the true incidence of this so called "pandemic". As for morbidity and mortality rates. NOBODY has done a post mortem or collected data on the incidence of seizure disorder patients and then separated out Influenza type A from sub-type H1N1, H3, H1, type B, "unable to type" and "subtype not done". As of the beginning of this season there have been 53 pediatric deaths due to influenza.
53 that's it. Out of about 27-28000 reported cases of "flu".
Can you give me your data or are you like most of the people in our government , just yapping off about something you know nothing about?
So you've collected or have data showing 2x mortality rates among seizure patients this season. Is that current or over what period of time? Does that include non-sub typed viruses or just those confirmed with postmortem fluid analysis?
Everybody just needs to think for a minute and calm down. It's the FLU. If you get it, yeah it's bad but you'll most likely recover. But would I stand around in a line or in a crowded clinic with hundreds or thousands of contacts sniffling, coughing and rubbing their buggers all over the place????.... HELL NO.
You're better off keeping your kids clean, telling them not to touch their face unless they wipe off their hands and if they have AIDs, cancer, asthma, diabetes or are immunocompromised... get vaccinated. But make sure you get the right vaccine, in the right delivery and correct dosage and intervals.
