Hi Everyone,


It is so great to see the sight up and running.


We are all aware that there has been so much media attention given to this year's vicious sv epidemic. All the articles have encouraged hand washing since the virus is known to be spread through the oral route. That said, how on earth is this virus so virulent? As a population, I think we are much more hygenic than in generations past (less the restaurant worker population).


As children, we almost never washed our hands, we sucked our thumbs, bit our nails, Purell and wipes were not available and we rarely got sv and when we did it was v** two or three times and that was it. They called it a 24 hour bug, but we would mend within a few hours and by the next day we were 100%.


Now, kids get sv several times a year with projectile V***, v** 20+ times, hospitalizations, etc. How on earth can this illness not be airborne and still have such virulence?
