Influenza is not just changing; it is evolving!
#10
RE: Influenza is not just changing; it is evolving!
My 7-year old daughter was diagnosed with Influenza A today; she's on Tamiflu.  She is giving every indication that she is going to be fine, but she will be out of school for at least 3 days.

This afternoon after the diagnosis was called-in from the doctor's office, my wife told me, "I think that they should give all the kiddos at school Tamiflu."  I told her that influenza "was evolving", and if "everyone got Tamiflu, the virus would soon evolve resistance to it, as it is constantly mutating."
