I know everyone is aware this is an early and harsh flu season--especially on younger people without an immunity to these strains. I wanted to share with everyone that Stephanie and now Crystal Hou are both quite ill with the flu: high fevers, respiratory and stomach issues. Stephanie was getting sick at IHSSA which leads me to believe that anyone who was around her may have been in direct contact of exposure. While we have had a fair amount of illness--this stuff is capable of putting kids (and coaches) in bed for an extended period of time (4-7 days). Please be careful and wash your hands frequently! If you start feeling badly--get out of circulation as soon as possible!
The outbreak is so severe in the NE that high school sports and activities are being cancelled.
