Actually I would have to do a little checking, but I think pneumonia is a big killer. It is usually what kills people that have immunological disorders. Even cases like cancer the patient usually dies from things like pneumonia.

At all times, white blood cells circulate in the bloodstream and are the first to sense if a virus or bacteria has infiltrated the body. Immediately, our body sends immune cells, including T-cells and macrophages, to attack the infection. During this stage, our immunity functions properly, and immune cells attack the microbes so they do not get too strong a foothold in our lungs.
For reasons not completely known, too many immune cells can be sent to the infection site. This happens when a particular type of molecule in the body, known as cytokines, activate the immune cells at the infection site and cause more immune cells to flood the site of infection. This propagates what is referred to as a cytokine storm where far too many immune cells are caught in an endless loop of calling more and more immune cells to fight the infection. The cytokine storm ends up inflaming the tissue surrounding the infection.
What Is ARDS?
ARDS, or acute respiratory distress syndrome, is a lung condition that leads to low oxygen levels in the blood. ARDS can be life threatening. This is because your body's organs, such as the kidneys and brain, need oxygen-rich blood to work properly.
ARDS usually occurs in people who are very ill with another disease or who have major injuries. Most people are already in the hospital when they develop ARDS.

The thing is they are no longer testing for it in most areas. They are just saying if people show up with the symptoms they have it. And look what this excellent work they are doing. The government and media fear mongers are only spreading the panic.
So much for trust in government.

My friends wife has the cough and body aches. That's it. They wouldn't test, and no tamiflu. They said it's for those with other lung issues (asthma, etc).
Glad your kids are doing fine.

Do you want to hear something weird? Our doctor said we must still get vaccinated, even though the tests came back possitive for 2 of my kids.
We know we cant catch the same virus twice. My doctor said we need it because it will come back in the Spring. I would assume the vaccine wouldnt be effective if that were the case, or the flu mutates during this period. It doesnt add up.

My daughter is forbidden to take the live nasal mist kind. People who take that vaccine are contagious for 21 days. So this will ensure that EVERYONE will catch it.

Ok so what exactly happens in a National Medical Emergency? The CDC has no clue because it is a government thing not a cdc regulation.
Wow ok so I see you answered my question before I asked it. LOL what are you psychic. That is scary!
