I know that as EMETS we always think that it is worse than usual and I must admit that it seems like it is everywhere. My friend lives in San Diego and she and her whole family have V*d all weekend and now she is till V*ing and they all have D*. My husband and son are heading that way this week, not to see them, but I now have this fear that it is worse out there and they will not get home healthy!!! WOW, I am really going nuts over this, but I hate thinking about this SV thing and it probably is no worse than any other year, but we keep focusing on it.
