8:12 am
alert, listen to your news but hand washing is the the key, if someone is sick, keep your kids around someone who is sick. this is a respiratory infection. someone is coughing or sneezing, then they can spread it by that way. so you just want to protect yourself. i mean it is a virus, there is not lot to do other than those measures i just mentioned but watch your child, if they have asthma, follow an asthma action plan, make sure they are on their medications because this virus, can cause increased wheezing and breathing difficulties, and if they see any of that, we have to talk to the doctor. >> what about treatment here if your child does come down with this, there is treatments here, is there hope and it is not something, i mean obviously you have to take it seriously but there is hope here. >> it is a virus we will see. we don't know kids have had it the because it has been a cold-like symptoms but cdc recommend testing if they have severe respiratory problems like difficulty breathing and potentially we're not sure we
8:13 am
do know this virus can potentially cause weakness or limb paralysis, that is what is happening. we're in the sure this is virus causing cases in philadelphia or colorado. so basically parents just call the doctor if you see a change in your child's health if they have limb weakness or difficulty breathing. >> on to ebola we are hearing about that in the news and now you in the united states. people are very concern. especially when we saw that initial report from dallas that there were mistakes made and the man in question wasn't exactly honest on his questionnaire, coming in from the airport. so how concern should people be. >> we can be concerned, because if someone gets it, it is very serious but not, nervous, nervous. the don't panic over it because you cannot get it, unless you have direct contact, direct, in other word, if their body fluids get into your eyes, your nose, mouth. body fluids can be when they have a bowel movement,
8:14 am
vomiting, saliva or their blood, that can get into it but it is direct. it is only if they have symptoms. people who have been on airlines with it, if people don't have symptoms. every hospital now is informed, to check a travel history. we want to know if someone has been to western africa and if they are showing any symptoms, fever greater than 101.5. unexplained bruising, nausea, vomiting, bad abdominal pain, we check them and isolate them. people can be aware but please don't panic. is there other diseases that are way more susceptible. it cannot be given to someone by sitting next to them, cough, sneeze, not normally no. direct contact with body fluids or sheets with body fluids in an open wound. >> that is good to know, important stuff, but there is a lot of tension as we just mentioned toward ebola and enterovirus but really it is the flu, that is reality here that most parents have to have guard begins coming in the

season. that is the one that is the most deadly for our region. >> i'm glad you mentioned that. unfortunately last year in this country over a hundred children died from complications related to the flu. every year, between three and 49,000 people, die from complications related to the flu and over 200,000 are hospitalized. what i would like to encourage everyone is yes, there is other concerns, other viruses, cdc is tracking ebola, enterovirus comes and goes each year but flu is here every year and sometimes we will forget about it. i'll encourage everyone to talk to their doctors to see if their child six months or older or themselves should get the the flu you shot. if we can prevent diseasees from happening in complications, please let's do it. >> doctor rob now, thanks you for your time and good information. thank you for joining us this morning. >> my pleasure. >> carol now returns with the look at eyewitness weather forecast, carol. >> it is kind of morning where seasons are changing and yes, could the flu be out there,
