Description:

Alabama public health officials and school administrators with Etowah County are still unsure as to why a group of students and one teacher at one school were affected Thursday by respiratory problems. However, they are continuing to look at the possible causes for the incident, which closed school not only at Hokes Bluff Middle School but also the adjoining elementary school. Robbie Stubbs, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Alabama Department of Public Health, said 27 students and one teacher have sought medical care for the condition. Eight students are still in the hospital for observation, she said, and are in stable condition. "We've been dealing with a lot of rumors," she said. For example, none of the students exhibited nausea or stomach problems. There have been reports of breathing problems and a skin rash, however. The incident began sometime after 9 a.m. Thursday following a PE class with more than 50 students. At least two of the s tudents have asthma, but about nine students began complaining of breathing problems, with symptoms variously described as hyperventilating, runny eyes and congestion. School administrators made the decision to evacuate the school and transport students to Hokes Bluff High School, just down the highway.rnrnAbout an hour after the evacuation, rescue crews were called to the high school gym, where four students and an English teacher who had had no breathing problems at the middle school began exhibiting symptoms. They were transported to Gadsden Regional Medical Center, as had been the other nine students. Etowah County Superintendent Alan Cosby said the middle school building has been checked out by state health officials and others. There has been no sign of a gas leak, and maintenance workers went over the school's heating and cooling system. An environmental services company is also checking out the campus, he said. On Thursday, workers checked for carbon monoxide, airborne toxins or other hazardous materials and found nothing. At the moment, officials are awaiting other test results. Police tape was visible outside the building, as well as the gym. Hokes Bluff Middle has a campus built within the last five years, but its gym dates back to the 1960s. Cosby said the school system may look at holding classes "in different venues" next week. "We may work out a plan over the weekend," he said, saying Hokes Bluff Elementary will also be part of any plans. The system closed the elementary school, which is just next door, even though no students or teachers there exhibited any symptoms. "We'll notify everyone as early as possible. We're going to do everything we can to make sure that this school and its students are safe."

Emergen-C has a highly effective dose of manganese in a palatable, easy to dispense form. No, I'm not profiting from any sales. Just something to keep in the back of your head. Airborne, too.

There is a potential for a pandemic. The operative word in bold. It could be constrained to a specific continent, selected continents, or progress globally.

Obamacare? *snort* *gasp* *guffaw* Pisshaw. Mandated insurance. Has nothing to do with health & wellness ;-) I'm more concerned with every motherless son going to Christmas parties, New Year parties, on Holiday, and what-not. Those will be some of the fastest ways to spread the love.

Many people go out & about while in the early, highly infectious stages of most illnesses. They poopoo it as, "...it's just the sniffles...it's only a tickle in the throat...it's coughing from the smoke of a wood fire..."

Oh! Wasn't in a thread by WatchMan on the Wall or Cryptic Mole about wearing surgical masks? And, didn't he make the comment in another thread about Comet ISON. He and Trinity had a word play between themselves in the one thread, IIRC.

edited to fix/close italic face...

We read a story on the net once - can't find it now - that during the black plague people saw men in black robes going around with large pipes that emitted a smoke which seemed to be causing the plague.

Have always wondered about that...

I read about that from the book(The Gods of Eden)

also read when people died a black smoke came out of their bodies...creepy shit in that book.

Dead cattle and goats too

it will soon mutate into pneumatic plague closely followed by hydraulic fever

thanks for posting this - I hadn't caught this. I just cross posted the threads.


wow, guys...... I sure hope this isn't as bad as what its appearing to be....

*watching the links above next - thank you all so much for contributing. There's just so much out info scattered about that there's no way just a few ppl could possibly catch it all.

"pneumonic plague" (which I've never heard of) or Bubonic plague?
