FIVE ON YOUR HEALTH TONIGHT, A SEVERE FLU SEASON IN THE US AND WHAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S MAKING IT WORSE RIGHT NOW. WELL, JOINING US IS DOCTOR SCOTT HADLAND, CHIEF OF ADOLESCENT MEDICINE AT MASS GENERAL FOR CHILDREN. THANKS FOR JOINING US. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. ALL RIGHT. LET바카라 게임 웹사이트�S START WITH THE FLU SHOT. THE STATE SAYS 38.5% OF MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS GOT IT THIS YEAR. ERIKA AND I ARE AMONG THOSE. I KNOW YOU ARE AS WELL. AND OUR KIDS ALSO GOT IT. SO WHAT PROTECTION ARE WE GETTING FROM THE STRAINS THAT ARE CIRCULATING OUT THERE? YEAH, FLU IS A TRICKY VIRUS. YOU KNOW, IT CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN HAVE THE SITUATION WHERE SOME YEARS YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE GOT A FLU SHOT THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S REALLY EFFECTIVE, AND OTHER YEARS IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A LITTLE BIT LESS EFFECTIVE. WE ACTUALLY DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T YET KNOW FOR THIS CURRENT FLU SEASON, WHICH IS A BAD ONE, HOW EFFECTIVE THIS VACCINE IS. BUT EXPERTS ARE SUGGESTING THAT IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PROBABLY A MODERATELY GOOD YEAR FOR THE FLU VACCINE, WHICH MEANS THAT IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOING TO REDUCE THE RISK. SO FLU YOU KNOW, FLU VACCINES ARE NOT PERFECT. THEY DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE RISK OF FLU, BUT THEY REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SOMEONE WILL GET INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE, THE LIKELIHOOD THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�LL HAVE A SEVERE ILLNESS, THE LIKELIHOOD THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�LL END UP IN THE HOSPITAL OR END UP IN AN ICU OR EVEN DIE. SO IF YOU DO GET THE FLU AND YOU ARE VACCINATED, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A MORE MILD CASE. ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PROBABLY THE REAL PROTECTION THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S MOST IMPORTANT FOR VIEWERS TO KNOW ABOUT. YEAH. SO IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOING ON IN OUR HOUSE. DOCTOR HAMLIN, MY SON HAS THE FLU. NOW SLIDE THIS WAY, DOCTOR. BUT HE GOT THE VACCINE AND IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NOT AWFUL. AND SAW THE PEDIATRICIAN TODAY. AND SHE SAID IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PROBABLY BECAUSE HE GOT THAT SHOT. SO HE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S DOING OKAY. WHAT REALLY IS THE RISK TO KIDS I MEAN THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE JUST AROUND EACH OTHER TOUCHING EVERYTHING. WELL, AND KIDS ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET SEVERE ILLNESS JUST BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT THEY ARE YOUNGER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE ANY PREEXISTING LUNG ILLNESS LIKE ASTHMA OR IF THEY HAVE ANY HEART DISEASE, THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO BE AT HIGHER RISK FOR FOR ILLNESS. AND THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S THE THING THAT WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE LOOKING OUT FOR AND WHY WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND THAT KIDS SIX MONTHS AND OLDER GET VACCINATED AGAINST THE FLU. THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ANOTHER THING TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR. AND THIS IS REALLY KIND OF BREAKING RIGHT NOW. WE HAVEN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T QUITE GOTTEN A HANDLE ON THIS, BUT THERE ARE CASES OF SOMETHING CALLED A E OR ACUTE NECROTIZING ENCEPHALOPATHY. THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A LITTLE BIT OF A MOUTHFUL, BUT IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A CONDITION WHERE THE BRAIN IS SWELLING UP IN CHILDREN THAT SEEM TO HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH THE FLU, AND WE HAVEN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T QUITE GOTTEN A HANDLE ON EXACTLY WHAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOING ON. SO STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS. BUT IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A A RARE BUT VERY SERIOUS CONDITION THAT WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT. SO WHAT ARE SOME SYMPTOMS THEN OF THAT. YEAH. SO SO KIDS WHO HAVE THIS WILL HAVE CHANGES IN MENTAL STATUS. THEY CAN HAVE SEIZURES. IT CAN BE REALLY DEVASTATING AND RESULTS IN COMA. ALL RIGHT. SO WE KNOW WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE HAVING A BAD FLU SEASON. AT THE SAME TIME WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE HEARING ABOUT AVIAN FLU THE BIRD FLU THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S KIND OF RUNNING RAMPANT IN BIRDS AND DAIRY COWS AND HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED TO SOME PEOPLE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOME OF THE SICK PATIENTS WITH THE FLU HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS MIGHT HAVE BIRD FLU, OR WE DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T KNOW, PROBABLY NOT ONLY BECAUSE FOR WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR, BIRD FLU HAS NOT RESULTED IN A LOT OF HUMAN TO HUMAN TRANSMISSION. NOW, DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T GET ME WRONG, A LOT OF US ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT BIRD FLU. EVERYTHING THAT WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN THE SEGMENT UP TILL NOW IS JUST THE REGULAR FLU THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S WITH US EVERY YEAR, RIGHT? BUT BIRD FLU HAS RESULTED IN THE DEATHS OF JUST AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF NOT JUST BIRDS AND POULTRY, BUT ALSO CATS, COWS, BEARS. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ACTUALLY JUMPED ACROSS MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SPECIES. AND THAT LEAVES PEOPLE VERY WORRIED THAT IT COULD JUMP FROM HUMAN TO HUMAN, RESULTING IN THAT HUMAN TO HUMAN TRANSMISSION THAT COULD BE REALLY DANGEROUS. THAT WOULD BE THE CAUSE OF A VERY SERIOUS OUTBREAK. AND PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT THAT HAPPENING. BUT WE REALLY NEED MORE TESTING AND MORE TRACKING TO UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS COULD HAPPEN. AND QUICKLY. I KNOW WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE OUT OF TIME, BUT IS IT IS IT WORSE? IS THE H5N1 THE BIRD FLU WORSE THAN THE OTHER FLU THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S CIRCULATING? SOME OF THE CASES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED LOOK LIKE VERY SEVERE ILLNESS WHEN IT GETS INTO HUMANS. AND SO, YES, WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE WORRIED ABOUT THIS. OKAY. DOCTOR HADLEY, THANK
