[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I talked to my kids' Ped about this during a routine visit this week. She said: Media is distorting the problem/ blowing it way out of proportion, which causes overreaction Most of the kids who develop serious complications with this virus have weakened immune systems, asthma or other underlying illnesses Most kids in populations like ours (meaning well cared for with caregivers who take them to their pediatrician as soon as potentially serious problems arise) will fare well. Many of the emergency situations you hear about are with kids who were taken to the ER only after serious complications developed. FWIW. [/quote] Maybe, but the percentage of kids with asthma (at least virus-related asthma) is pretty high...[/quote]
