I think that it is definitely getting worseas well. I have lived in the same town my whole life and this year is the first time I can ever remember that a school actually closed due to a sv outbreak. I don't think it's just sv's either - I think it's other viruses/illnesses as well. I'm just speaking from what I've heard and seen around town here and heard on the news. Also from what's gone on at my babysitter's. There have been various viruses and illnesses, including a sv, there all winter. Bronchitis, pneumonia, fevers with no explanation, sv that last for days (2 brothers had that one - the doctor called it some kind of colic - thank the Lord no one else got it), etc. My son is 4 and each year just seems to be a little worse.
