Mass Hysteria- FLU!

Specialties School

Published

We have ONE confirmed flu case in Kindergarten. I have checked 15 temperatures in K alone today of students who "feel warm" or "look tired"

Listen here.....we all feel warm because its 75 degrees out today and the heat is still on in our building and I am sure we all look tired too because....well...Monday + Full Moon.... heck let's just all go home!!!!

I am a telephone triage nurse and I still can't figure out why parents call when their child has vomited ONE time. People stress out about fever and vomiting.

Right?? I love when I'm sending kids home with a fever and the parents pick up and let me know that they've called the dr and they're on the way there now.... ???

Not here, we are having an outbreak of Influenza A, 4 resident in the SNF I work have died. We are doing prophylactic Tamiflu for residents and staff. It is coming very soon that there won't be a "flu season".

We had a mini outbreak of influenza B in my state recently. Less severe, but still not fun.

All we have going around here is "MCAS-itis". MCAS is the states mandatory testing. So all day I have kids trying to get out of it, (fake headaches and stomachaches, and just about everything else) or you have the opposite, when they finally finish, they are so hyped up, they go crazy on the playground and end up in fights!

FUN TIMES....FUN TIMES....35 more days,,,
