Hi Divina, you are in the thick of it and most certainly know more than I do. I do however think (based on global news reports etc) that this isn't just the flu. Last night I her a TO Dr. talking about the fact that it seems once the patients get to the "pnemonia" stage, nothing helps in that treatment. I have no doubt the the very young, old and immunosupressed will be the greatest targets, but apparently to be healthy and in the prime of life are no guarentees either. Don't get me wrong, I am anything but paranoid about it; like I said it has interesting corralations to a cat disease that has frustrated me for many years (I'm hoping inadvertendly it may glean some knowledge about it).
