Has it hit your school/area?
We now have SEVERAL confirmed cases in ours here. I'm torn between "oh, dont over-react" and "omg you have a child with asthma, dont send her to school!"
I dont have much information, only a phone call and front page paper info, no one is releasing names (of course) or ages--which would be nice, only because I'd like to know how closely my children play with those who have caught it.
I honestly hope we (as a community) dont lose anyone, I cant help but be a bit worried over it.

Nothing here yet, but we've received reams of paper about contingency plans (aka how to cough/sneeze and wash your hands, over and over) and that they'd let everyone know IF they need to close schools.
I'm still not particularly worried, also have yet to ask my paed. if she would give the kids the new vaccine or not...

My son attends public school, we're in Dallas (Richardson ISD). There's kids from his school out every day with it, however, nobody in his immediate class has yet to contract it. (The morning session has had four or five though.)
I'm a little worried (since I'm eight weeks from spawn delivery), but every single case that I've seen that was fatal has involved a pre-existing condition that for the most part included something respiratory. It's not like I expect a vaccine to be available before it's born anyways - all the ones in DFW so far have gone to health care personnel.

We had the first H1N1 attributed death in our county recently - a healthy 18 month old boy.

Ugh. Matthias is 17 months and I'm on the fence about getting him vaccinated.

its always risky, who to believe
if you do and they get sick from it, you feel guilty, its your fault, and the ppl lied
if you dont, and they get sick, then you feel its again your fault, and the other side lied.

My family doctor will not give the vaccine or recommend it to anyone because she doesn't feel it has been properly tested.
I'm not getting the vaccine and neither is my daughter.
