Carolina Kid, I'm praying for you and your family too. Keep your chin up, it'll get better. It's best anyway that these surgeries get out of the way now before the pan flu starts.

Lab tests have confirmed the North Carolina outbreak is a run-of-the-mill influenza B virus, which is generally mild, with fever, body aches and dry cough. Most patients were well within four to five days, health officials said, although four children were hospitalized. At week's end it had not been determined whether the particular strain is covered by this year's flu vaccine; |

Carolina Kid, thanks for posting that link to that article, it was a good one. I noted what they said in there, about some people not understanding this difference between this or bird flu. What I read into that is that it's probably infectious to the point of, or people are seeing sickness unprecidented, that they're assuming it's the worst case scenario. The really sad thing about it is that as sick as everyone in the area is, avian flu would be soooo much worse.
I went back to Sams today on a day trip and bought more of the 25 pound bags of things (flour, rice) to calm my nervous heart about all of this!!!!

Even if this strain is covered by the vaccine people still need to get the vaccine in case the regular seasonal flu hits.Your right this is nothing compaired to a pandemic.

Influenza type B is not always simple. My youngest daughter contracted cerebrospinal meningitis from the influenza type B virus, according to the medical reports.
