[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 [b]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. [/b] Many of the emergency situations you hear about are with kids who were taken to the ER only after serious complications developed. FWIW. [/quote] The bolded quote is absolute nonsense: this virus appears like a bad cold to a lay person , whether that parent lives in a low income area or in Upper Caucasia. You have to be trained in doing a pediatric respiratory assessment and have a stethescope to recognize when a kid is sick with this. [/quote]
