I thought it was a 4 yr old that died ? unless that was the south .That is horrible. I had heard there was another strep A death here so could that be it?
On the strep A thing? if there is an antibiotic shortage then they probably need to go homeschooling now until after Christmas and deep clean the schools and nurseries.
I wonder though if families are not turning heating on and living in cold damp conditions could this exasperbate(can’t spell this) infections leading to worse symptoms.
