I don't know how the flu has hit you gals (and guys) on the other side of
the ocean, but here in Israel the epidemic has hit over 10% of the
population and has even resulted in several deaths; ironically, the people
who died were not "elderly".

 My daughter who was bf for 2 1/2 years was the only family member who did
not get sick!  My son who was bf 11 mos did get sick and still has a bad
cough.

Sound familiar?

I'm still No-mail but wanted to share the tidbit.
