Back in November there was at least one case of pertussis, which was essentially ignored. Several more cases erupted in the last few months, and which elicited a decidedly laissez faire attitude about the whole thing from the administration. It took a visit yesterday from the Contra Costa County Health Department to get the school's attention. CoCo County basically told the school to shut down immediately and get everyone on antibiotics.</p> http://sfist.com/2008/05/09/whooping_cough.php#comment-1359357 http://sfist.com/2008/05/09/whooping_cough.php#comment-1359357 Comments Fri, 09 May 2008 13:58:17 -0800 <p>Does whooping cough sound like an Arsenio Hall audience of yore?</p> http://sfist.com/2008/05/09/whooping_cough.php#comment-1359146 http://sfist.com/2008/05/09/whooping_cough.php#comment-1359146 Comments Fri, 09 May 2008 11:06:01 -0800 <p>Immunize your kids. If you can afford to see a doctor and get your shots, please visit and ask her/him about a series of boosters. We live in a place where global tourists and immigrants travel to and their microbes travel with them. [/psa]</p>
