Arthur and them in the sheep flu pandemic
Another flu is going around in a pandemic in fact. It is airborn now. It could be like the one in 1918. It was called the Spanish flu in 1918 even though it started in the United States. This one is called sheep flu. It has a new H and N order. It is H 10 N 4. It was never around before. A vaccine will be made for it. And some anti virial medication it won't be like the one in 1918. They are working it now in fact. The egg thing in fact. To make the vaccine to give to them. So yes millions of it in fact.
"This flu will be bad," said Arthur, "What must we do until vaccines are available?"
"Wear mask outside," said Mrs. Read, "Just like we did during the goat flu."
"Good idea mom," said Arthur, "I hope we don't get it or die from a cytokine storm from it."
"I hope not either," said Mrs. Read, "Cytokine storms are very dangerous to the body."
"They sure are," said Arthur, "We need to follow the health guidelines to be safe from that flu."
The health guidelines says wear mask in public, wash your hands, take plenty of vitamin c, sneeze into the bend of your elbow, and take hot showers or baths. So they will follow them the way they said. Vitamin c will help raise their immune system to help fight that for if that flu virus enters into them. If they get it they will give them flu medication both over the counter and prescription drink plenty of fluids and cold compresses on forehead stuff like that so they will live of course.
"Time to wear mask again," said Mrs. Crosswire, "You know them good reusable mask that we bought."
"Yes do to that flu," said Muffy, "I will be glad to wear it again."
"Yes indeed," said Mrs. Crosswire, "To protect ourselves from that flu."
"Yes of course," said Muffy, "I see Bailey has one already."
"That is true," said Mrs. Crosswire, "He will help you put yours on."
He helped her put her mask on for protection. The health guidelines will pay off. Once the vaccines is available it will save the lives of many people across the world. That strain of the flu is a bad one. It is airborn after all. So they must wear mask until the vaccines are ready. Even though many who would get it will still wear them mask. Which includes The Read family and the rest of them as well. So yes Arthur and his friends will keep wearing mask until the pandemic is over with.
"Fern time to wear them mask again," said Mrs. Walters, "Because the health guidelines says we should."
"Of course mom," said Fern, "The ones that can fit our dog faces that we have being dog people."
"Yes of course," said Mrs. Walters, "Here is your mask i will help you put it on."
"Thanks mom," said Fern, "Okay it is on now."
"Yes indeed," said Mrs. Walters, "Vaccines are being worked on now i heard."
The scientist are working on that vaccine. They hired more people to help them work faster so they can save more lives. The first 18,000 of that vaccines are made but it is for healthcare personal only. The military and government officials and their families will get the next shipments of it. Arthur and them will protest to send some to regular people. Some of them thinks that only wants to save the lives of certain people. See what happens in the next chapter of this story.
