Arthur and them in the sheep flu pandemic
Arthur now has a cold. Which is common by the way. And Molly caught the sheep flu from an elderly woman who she was taking care of. And Slink got it from a woman who he was taking care of. But one will live and one will die. Slink will live because he would go to the hospital where they will give him antiviral medication from an iv that is made to fight the flu, plenty of vitamin c, the vaccine, and a cool bath to help lower his fever. Arthur just has a cold so he will recover in four days.
"Mom i feel sick," said Arthur, "I think i have a cold."
"I think you have a cold," said Mrs. Read, "You will make a full recovery in four days."
"I think i do as well," said D.W., "So does that mean we stay home today?"
"Go to school," said Mrs. Read, "You two do wear mask after all."
"Glad it is the flu," said Arthur, "Either seasonal or the sheep flu."
Slink is at home feeling very sick with that flu. So they took him to the hospital when they found out he has it and put an antiviral iv that is used to treat the flu and gave him orange juice to drink. After the first dose was given they stripped him naked and put him in the bath to lower his fever. After that put him in a clean hospital gown and gave him that vaccine and before dinner the second dose of that antiviral medication and gave him orange juice and vitamin c rich foods.
"I feel a bit better now," said Slink, "I feel less hot now after all."
"Your temperature feel a bit," said the nurse, "I am sure you will survive that flu you got."
"He does look better," said his mom, "When will he be able to go home?"
"He sure does," said the nurse, "I say he will go home in days up to two weeks."
"Sooner the better," said his mom, "So it will cost our insurance less money."
So they told her they will do their best to make his stay there shorter. So they gave him vitamin c supplements to help raise his immune system. His antibodies now recognize that virus so the first cells that battle viruses now has a better chance of winning the war with that flu. In four days his t cells will join the fight. T cells are the best white blood cells. He won't get a cytokine storm in his body. The next day was breakfast time or orange juice and strawberries. Now we see Molly sick with it. She won't survive that flu because it is now to late to save her from a cytokine storm.
"She is in bad shape," said James, "Mom is she going to die?"
"She sure is in bad shape," said their mom, "So i am afraid she will die from it she might have a cytokine storm."
"I think she is dead," said James, "She stopped breathing after all."
"I am afraid so," said their mom, "It is sure sad losing her."
With her dead added to the list of the ones who died from that flu. Arthur and them heard about that death. They are sad she is dead. See what happens in the next chapter of this story.
