The Bug

Well my son has the flu. Specifically, Influenza A. So it begins, the detoxification of the house. We are officially at DEFCON 4. If I had one of those yellow bio hazard suits I would be wearing it. Oh and that tamaflu medicine. WOW.... expensive! Thank you God for insurance. $150.00 for a pack of that stuff. I am in the wrong business.

If you didn't know, they consider this years outbreak to be at epidemic proportions. If you received this years flu shot, you have some protection, however, I heard an estimate that it's only 62% effective. That of course is better than 0%.

Here's some info on the flu and some ways to help keep your family healthy:
