1. update

they have finally sent a letter home to parents, and the child is being treated effectively. Hope he/she will recover quickly. Very scary after reading about the kids that have died from this.

2. What's interesting is the bit that 1% are walking around with MRSA

So, does that mean these 1%, since living with it, have a high resistance to it?

3. Really scary.

Sometimes it seems like the world as we know it is collapsing.
