It was a real pain in the neck for us last year when the preschooler got a viral infection and rash. He was up to date with the chicken pox vaccine, but the rash was similar enough looking to chicken pox that he enjoyed a good long time at home without seeing the doctor. We never did figure out exactly what it was. My doctor’s office has that policy too. It was a real pain in the neck for us last year when the preschooler got a viral infection and rash.

Agh, the impending Superstorm Wakefield approaches, run for the hills!

Maybe it would give the victims some ideas of who to blame. (laughing) I love the idea of naming these unnatural disasters after antivaccine advocates.

I love both your naming outbreaks (a truly great idea in terms of generating publicity) as well as your "Green" proposal. Joe Oh, Do’C,
