I just heard this on the news and it looks like this 'flu' can kill anyone any age not just the vunerable!!

RIGHT? The underlying health condition was FLU, probably followed by pneumonia. Poor thing.

Have a friend there- with a family. They live near St. Albans- she's been sick for 2 weeks- baby and husband are well, but she's in bed. I told her at least to get an antibiotic for post-flu pneumonia and she won't go to ospital because she's still breast-feeding and doesn't want meds. I get it, but good lord- how do I convince her to get treatment? 101+ fever, horrible chest infection (and she's a black belt in tae quon do- very fit). I worry every minute about her.
