It's pretty bad here as well. The ER here is full of children. I think four have died in the state from it.
What is really freaking me out is this old man I was taking care of, who has no tv, no radio, no newspaper, he's non ambulatory and had no visitors, as well as not being able to communicate very well due to a trache, told me this (I held my stethoscope up to his mouth and could hear him that way), "There's going to be an epedemic. Lots of children will die"
Keep in mind that he has no access to information really, and those are the only words he has really communicated to me.
There is a radio in his room, but I don't think he likes it to be on.
Anyway, hearing that, and then all this flu stuff, has me kinda freaked out.
