Brian posted an article about an outbreak of Moscow type A virus. It apparently packs a wallop. Most likely this strain will be in all the flu vaccines this fall in the states. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also report their whole family as being reallly unwell. Unfortunately, I think the nurse is not getting much rest at home if the whole family is ill. Staffing is really at crisis point, but the patient's keep coming! Joanne 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
