Thing #5

Wow! What an abundance of news! One of my favorites is North Texas News and Commentary Podcast. One of the podcasts I found interesting was about
 swine flu deaths in Dallas and Tarrant counties. Since I recently tested positive for type A flu I was 
interested in what this podcast had to say. Here are some of the things I found interesting:

-Richardson ISD student that passed away had serious underlying medical conditions.
-6-8% increase in absentee rate at schools
- Fort Worth ISD student was not prescribed Tamiflu because she did not meet the criteria
-99% will not need Tamiflu- wont make any difference whatsoever. Up to doctors to decide who is high risk.
