Great! Had to pick up Mason from school. They we worried about him. He looks a little pale but was happy to see me. 11 out of 19 kids in Masons preschool class have Influenza type A according to the remaining 3 teaches that didnt go home sick. They say its been confirmed by the local Drs. We kept him home yesterday because he had a cough and runny nose. Didnt seem too serious. He seems to do okay when hes medicated. We all had our flu shots this year... First thing I did when we came home was looked up Type A. See below.. What Is Type A Flu Virus? Type A flu or influenza A viruses are capable of infecting animals, although it is more common for people to suffer the ailments associated with this type of flu. Wild birds commonly act as the hosts for this flu virus. Type A flu virus is constantly changing and is generally responsible for the large flu epidemics. The influenza A2 virus (and other variants of influenza) is spread by people who are already infected. The most common flu hot spots are those surfaces that an infected person has touched and rooms where he has been recently, especially areas where he has been sneezing. webmd/cold-and-flu/flu-guide/advanced-reading-types-of-flu-viruses
