Hi Everyone!
I have not stopped by in a while, sorry about that! We have just moved from Ohio back to NY, I changed jobs, again! and we finally close on our new home at the end of the month. Plus throw in all the holiday stuff on top of that....ugh, life has been crazy to say the least
Anyway - It was a nice surprise to see my thread on the front page. Yes the flu has been very bad this year. The CDC is still encouraging every to get their flu shots, its still not too late. People that have received their shot can still get the flu, however, its lessens the severity and duration. So, PLEASE get your flu shot for you and your family.
There have been a number (30ish) of pediatric deaths this year. The most this early since 2009 H1N1's flu season.
Just to remind everyone - here are a few of the lates headlines. This is not something to take lightly.
