The H1N1 is a virus that has said to be a more that what it actually is. In the article, “Two H1N1 Patient’s Two Different Outcomes” it talks about how there are two kids that are just forty feet away in the hospital, but “There chances of recovery are miles apart,” the doctors say. Tony is the one that is in much better shape than Leteasha. Leteasha is going to be put on a machine called the EMCO. It is her best chance of survival because the machine acts like her heart and lungs and oxygenates her blood.
This is the same virus that is doing this to both of them. My question along with the doctors is: Why is Tony doing a lot better than Lateasha is? This question we will wrestle with because it is one that could have many answers. One of those answers, in my opinion, is that Tony has that desire to live more that Lateasha does. This can be ruled out just as fast because she loves to sing and dance at home. Which makes me think why would not she want to live? Another response to this question is that Tony got a less severe case of the virus. I hope that is it and not many more will be as harmed as Lateasha was.
This relates to me because at Arapahoe there are more than a few kids that are sick. I really hope that none of them have a case of H1N1 like these two patients have. I would be really scared for them for a couple of reasons. One of the top reasons being, that they would be fighting for there life and I really do not want to lose anyone of my friends. So that is why I hope none of my friends do get this virus nearly as bad as Lateasha got it. Think of these two kids and how hard they are fighting each and every day.
