than the flu, so more will have it. The kids who have health issues will be hospitalized in greater numbers since more are sick at the same time. Those numbers will generate news stories, people will become overly fearful.

My nephew would be hospitalized every time he got the flu since he was on anti-rejection medication from a kidney transplant. It is common, it is expected and it was precautionary.
