Swine Flu’s First Fatal Victim in US April 29, 2009

Filed under: DOH, Health Care Providers, Physicians, Swine Flu — Dr. Smith @ f:39 am

The first fatally from swine flu occurred in a 23 months old Texas toddler.   The details of the story are in the NYTimes article below.  My prayers go out to the family in their time of need.

Please remember to over your mouth when you cough not with your hands but with a napkin or in you elbow. Wash your hands frequently. If you have flu like symtoms (fever and upper respiratory symtoms, etc) please get evaluated by a health care provider and stay home. Keep your children home if they are not well and get them evaluated. Do not take Tamiflu unless under the supervision of a physician.
