It started with a cold, and then it turned deadly.
The grieving family of Dylan Winnik of West Palm Beach, Fla. is in shock after their 12-year old son died Tuesday from complications related to the flu.
Dylan’s family said cold symptoms developed just a day after the seventh-grader was playing at a birthday party on Sunday, according to a report from Local10 News. By Tuesday, his condition worsened and a neighbor called 911. When sheriff's deputies arrived at the home, Dylan already had died.
Family member Mike Medwi told the Palm Beach Post that the boy had not gotten a flu shot.

I contracted the flu on the way back from Africa during Christmas and the doc I saw upon my return said I would have probably been on a ventilator if I hadn’t had all the flu shots...
Uh, prescription for Tamiflu, maybe?
Also research Four Thieves vinegar.
Think what you want but I’ve done enough research on this that if I have a loved one who is severely ill, I want them to try this remedy. It is malpractice to not try it when it is harmless and there is plenty of evidence it works.
Congrats
That’s a bit of overkill.
Most flu strains die on hard surfaces within day.
I agree.
I think increasing D3 intake is a much more effective way to fight the flu and colds.
She was sooo sick and had made an appointment for her national boards test on the second day of her illness and couldn’t cancel on such short notice. She has spent a very tense 2 weeks waiting for her results but she passed!
RIP poor kid.
You must be using it as a preventative. How do you use it, and what brand of colloidal silver do you use? I've never used it, but have about decided to get some to have on hand.
There are Two Ways I inevitably get sick. 1# going to the Doctor 2# going to the Pharmacy.
Four flu viruses were in this years vaccine. By one account there are perhaps a hundred influenza viruses being monitored worldwide.
They say it isn’t effective against this flu.
Hospital for prescription? Wow, that’s like calling an electrician to change a light bulb.
I had to take my 95 year old mother to the ER last Sunday. 7 hours to see a doctor. It was packed with the flu. I put on a mask in the parking lot and kept it on the whole time. People were so sick and it was so crowded they were triaging.

Exactly 100 years ago was the origin and spread of the Pandemic of 1918 that lasted almost until 1922. This flu outbreak killed more people than any plague in history.
If your doctor will diagnose and prescribe Tamiflu over the phone without seeing you, more power to you. Most won’t.
Furthermore, the symptoms in my case mimicked meningitis, which happens to be prevalent in the area from which I was returning.
My sister is in the hospital this afternoon. She presented at the local ER with flu-like symptoms, but very low blood-oxygen. Tests showed that she has pneumonia, with no trace of flu. Doctors sent her to hospital for treatment and observation.
The small community hospital in Lebanon, Oregon has no open beds today. The larger hospital in Albany, 25 miles away, has none either. The only hospital in the central-south Willamette Valley with open beds today is in the Corvallis Regional Medical Center, 35 miles away.
It seems area hospitals are filled up with flu patients.
