Really Shitty Virus.

People might have to work at it, but babies don't. Something something walking on hands something something hands in mouth.

Ahhh I see. My apologies for misunderstanding virus/computer virus. One of my favorite high school teacher's son had this, as well as his other son having cystic fibrosis. He told us about both diseases and what work he had to do every day to treat them. Lots of hard work.

cystic fibrosis is similar to RSV the way leprosy is similar to a rash. CV is no joke. RSV is "just another thing that looks like a cold most of the time." The munchkin is damn near better; me and the wife are under now.

He liked to give us comparisons on the parts of the lungs that were affected and how he taught both of them about functions of his body of it, so it was a more a teaching experience for his family and making them interested in medicine in a fun way. But yes, his son's condition was extremely severe. Use of breathing machines at certain points in the day and such.
