Wow, thats just awful. Our camp was last week and the kids had a great time. I guess we are lucky our MDA office got the camp in just under the wire.
We did just have two more recent deaths in the Milwuakee area. I think come fall is when we will see the big outbreak of it.

Subject: [MD-List] MDA Summer Camp Cancelled NATIONWIDE
MDA has decided to cancel Summer Camp nationwide due to heightened fears of the Swine Flu at the last minute. My nephew is extremely upset and I’m very angry. The camp director was in tears when she called my sister to let her know what happened. He was supposed to go to camp tomorrow and had everything ready for days. All of the counselors and volunteers were already at camp when they found out. All the food and supplies are paid for and already to go and now to waste. All the months of planning shot to hell. They should have made this decision weeks if not months ago. This Swine Flu thing has been blown way out of proportion. Not only is it no worse than the regular flu, it isn’t anywhere close to the regular flu in numbers. The regular flu kills on average 36000 people in the US every year, the H1N1 swine flu has only killed 87. The numbers just don’t add up. It’s the time frame that bothers me the most. Not to mention that 17 year olds were on their last year of camp are now screwed out of it.
