How many lives do we have to be lose before it's called a pandemic? I believe at this time all borders should be closed especially because they are unsure as to where the flu initiated. This is not a political issue or discrimination as much as everyone is trying to make it. What the cdc is "allowing" us to know" is far greater than the extent we are being led to believe, this morning a toddler in texas died from the flu along with many others. The flu is spreading outward to different states and countries and in the eyes of the cdc and the goverment unless there are a certain amount of people dying we will never know their "quota" we are going to see catastrophic numbers of people dying. If antibiotic responds to the flu than why isn't it made avaiable to school age children, elderly people and individual's with compromised immune systems. I guess it has to actually hit close to home for the general public to insist something be done and drastic measures be take. If parent's refused to send their children to school, if college age student refused to live in closed quarters, if people refused to stop flying on planes and if our military refused to live in cramped quarters than maybe, just maybe it may wake the american people up as to how serious this can become. Just something to think about!!! One life to lose is enough. Chicago has now shut down one of their schools. An apology was issued, not a solution. Losing a child is devasting to so many people involved in that family. Act as a country and stand together on this issue and we may stand a chance to save a life.
