Hi Terra,

we say many similar stories, from all over the world:

child falls ill , gets bacterial or viral pneumonia and dies, in a few days.

This is what can happen, that is why we are trying to gather information
here at Flutrackers.com to spread it and tell the people to be prepared and alert.

Fortunately most new H1N1 cases, 99% or so, will be cured.

However one must stay alert when a loved one falls ill.
