Subject: RE: BS: £800 fine for low school attendance
Sorry - my bad memory. It was by the age of 5, not 2. From the article kindly linked by Poxicat -

By the age of five, nearly every child in the world has been infected with rotavirus at least once

You see why people begin to doubt you, Lizzie, when you rely on anecdotes and one-off experiences rather than the confirmed facts? When most things you say go against what is actual fact and against most other peoples experience is it any wonder that it seems you are a lone voice?

The important thing is that he was under the doctor and not 'fobbed off' by the GP. The doctor took it very seriously and confirmed that if he was to get any worse or show no signs of improvement bu last Thursday he was to go to hospital. Fortunately he did improve dramiticaly within the specified week and he is fine now. But the legacy lingers on in us carers!

Oh, and btw, what is this fucking stupid game you like to play. It is now my turn to be intrigued. Do you mean the game of finding facts that do not fit your theories or simply the game of accepting real life?

Cheers
