A lot of information was released today, some of which I have summarized in an article, regarding the dramatic increase in deaths of children before the normal Flu season starts in week 40. The data starts at week 35 to give an idea of how the H1N1 is coming out of the gate and taking over the other Flu strains in number and severity before the normal Flu season starts.

Of particular note: at the bottom of the article are links to important information and broachers that you may want to print out for your family, or email to family members with children. The links offer a lot of answers to questions that mothers have.

This is a deadly Flu that can kill our children and is not to be taken lightly. One should truly consider shots fora any child age two and under; this is an individual and very personal choice. There is danger in everything we do but if a young child gets this virus the odds are higher of death than with the regular Flu.

Older people are not getting the Flu as expected. Evidently, anyone born before 1957 has been exposed to similar viruses in the past and we have some immunity. Those born after 1957 are in much more danger and should be the first to receive the shots, starting with the very young first.

Be sure to visit the links and save the PDF files to your computer. Print them out and go over them with your children. Considering purchasing rubbing alcohol to wipe keyboards at work, and this is excellent for dampening a cloth and wiping children’s hands to sanitize them, as well.

Since I have been promoting the poll this week Fox News has gone from 10,000 down in the poll to about a million up! Thanks to the great members here and to those who spread the word on other sites. You will get the results once you make your selection.
