D68

Well, one adult ,her child and another child have D68 in our school. This is significant because the adult is very sick just like I have been. I am thinking I could have had D68 my doc just did not test me. But I can tell you D68 could put more adults in hospital than the flu.

My friend had the same problems I had and her doc had to do the same thing my doc did switch to stronger antibiotics. She has been out of work almost as much as I was and I really should still be home as lousy I feel.

Fair warning folks we have a virus that is going to do a double whammy with flu season coming on. There is going to be lots of sickness this season.

My son, 5 then, now 6 as of yesterday, came back from a visit from Denver a few weeks ago and was sick. I'm wondering now if that was it. He got better in a week or so though but then his mom got sick but not me or my dad. Hope you get well soon Flu Mom!!!

I read tonight it's in Ventura and San Diego now. That's JacksDads turf. Stay well JD! You may need to ride shotgun in Alberts Hummer soon to JR's. Well, after we first shoot up north to kidnap Germ Nerd 'cause we may need her to help keep Albers pits from germin' up my face too bad -plus she seems pretty cool. Once we finely make it to JR's we can then break out with a little Thunderstruck:

Yeah, I posted that this afternoon in the other topic about it about 4 kids confirmed having it in Ventura and SD County. They were aged 2yrs-13yrs. Feel better, Jacksdad. I have been sneezing at almost the same exact time every day, kinda random. I've also been super congested more than usual.

I'm jealous!  Flu/evd68 or not, that sounds like a super party.  Bl**dy pond!

Jacksdad I had that too! My throat was so sore and I could barely swallow, I just knew I had strept throat. I did go the doctor and they did a strept test and it was negative. I was sick for about 3 weeks, sore throat, cough and really tired all the time. They put me on Levaquin and steroids cause I have asthma and I was using my nebulizer with Albuterol and Pulmicort everyday.

Penham - I went into work to hand in some paperwork, and two of the nurses were wearing masks and complaining about sore throats, and two coworkers both said they'd taken time off with the same symptoms.
When I first came down with it, I did pretty much nothing but sleep for a couple of days - it wiped me out completely.
Hope you're feeling better.

Hope the antibiotics work, FluMom. Get better soon.

What a coincidence, we had an invasion of illegal aliens across our Southern Boarder all year, and now all of these diseases are popping up!

Our government officials can't control our Southern Border, threaten healthcare workers with arrest if they attempt to inform the public of the diseases that the illegals are bringing in, but Obama signs an E.O. for a bunch of bureaucrats to combat infectious disease!

The Centers for Disease Control has confirmed a case of an unusual respiratory virus in a local adult.
According to the Rhode Island Department of Health, the adult was hospitalized with enterovirus D68 and has since been released. There have been no deaths locally or in the United States associated with enterovirus.
On Tuesday, Massachusetts health officials confirmed the virus was also found in an 8-year-old southeastern Massachusetts girl. She was hospitalized and has recovered. Boston Children’s Hospital said the child was treated there.
Mild symptoms of the virus include fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough, and aches. Severe symptoms could include difficulty breathing and wheezing
