It is as if OC43, NL63, HKU1 and 229E did not accept SC2 into the same timeframe. It will be interesting to see if this years SC2 peak is again earlier, from middel September to possibly August, or it may have found the best spot and middle of September is where it settles? 4/4

Ask a grey-haired pediatrician about how many lumbar punctures they used to have to do in a shift for infants that then ended up having Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) meningitis. Also, if you did not vaccinate your kids, PLEASE do not lie about it if they need care. It is critical information.

I treated very young kids in my ER who had a fever today. They're too young to realize how lucky they are to be vaccinated. Their parents were reminded by me of how wise their choices were, though. Their being vaccinated meant we had to do FAR less testing and extensive treatments than otherwise.
