They’re not sure what to do, so they assume, ‘We’ll just go to the teaching hospital down the street and either they’ll reassure us or they’ll give us the magic medicine.’ And, unfortunately, there’s no real magic medicine out there.” What To Do If Your Child Develops Flu Complications [...] [...] “Families are obviously scared,” Waltzman says. “They’re getting mixed signals.

I've seen this repeatedly in the drugstore recently, and elsewhere: some big kid (10 or 12 years old), with the parent, and the parent's having a conversation with someone they know, and says, "Oh yes, little Johnny here has the flu..." I have to leave so I don't shout "WHY IS HE HERE INSTEAD OF OUT IN THE CAR/AT HOME, THEN?!?" I can't believe these people haven't been paying attention to the news these last several months. Either that, or they're just completely inconsiderate of other people. Many people are clueless about germs, it seems; this year, though, we've all been told, repeatedly--cover your cough, wear a mask, etc. Please don't bring your sick kid (or your sick self, for that matter) anywhere they don't have to go; obviously, if they have to go to their physician's office, that makes sense--please don't bring them into the drugstore, your office, or on public transportation, if you can help it. The rest of us thank you. Can I just add a bit of common sense?
