2.2 Entry

As everyone knows it is flu season, but the flu has proven to be deadly for some people. "The majority of flu deaths strike the elderly and people with pre-existing health problems. But flu also affects kids with no known medical problems and can send them into critical condition, or even death."

Four Years ago a 15 year old boy came home with flu like symptoms. He went to be early but woke up vomiting and with a temp of 102 his Mom decided to bring him to the emergency room. The doctors told them that he needed surgery right away because he had messed up his leg muscles from running that morning. After going into surgery he didn't come out alive but died.

I really think people need to realize the flu can be deathly and actually rest instead of trying to come to school. If the symptoms get worst going to the hospital is the best option so you can be treated the best as possible!
