DIS-N-DAT

• I just heard the nyc health commisioner say that the death of a child due to MRSA occurs one in a million, after a 12-year old black boy in IS211 contracted it and died. Strangely, a death occurred in Pa recently to a student. MRSA is the antibiotic resistant staph infection that Jerry contracted last year. In fact, there have been several reports of staph infection in schools here. I can only urge you all to caution your children about washing their hands and carrying hand washes on them at all times. It seems schools, gyms, hospitals and I'm sure public transportion are highly susceptible to carrying infectius diseases. This is nothing you haven't heard before, it's just a reminder to my loved ones.
