CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 6 Dave had been to his broth- er's house a thousand times before, and he knew that the cracked sidewalk that they walked up was right But when the first man, the one that had appeared at his back door, pushed the door open, he knew that what lay beyond was not his brother's house. That was not his brother's front hall. "What is this?" Dave demanded, then yelped as they pushed him inside. "Hey!" He shouted, twist- ing to beat his fists on the door when they slammed it shut behind him. This wasn't his brother's house. It had only looked like it from out- side. Here, where he was suddenly trapped inside, everything was perfect white and painfully clean, like he'd found himself inside an ice cube. "Let me out!" He spun to face the famil- iar voice, and blinked at his brother Jake. His brother was dressed in a hazmat suit, like his, but his mask was hanging in front of him, instead of over his head. Jake was a sight for sore eyes, but his brother looked disappointed, for some reason, to see him. "Jake!" He grinned, relieved. "What's going on?!" His brother waved at the door that cut them off from freedom. "Those men... they're terrorists, or some- thing. They released a biologi- cal weapon... a disease bomb. Burned up all the water, made the sky look... green. Killed everyone. Except... us:' His eyes widened, horri- fied. "We're the only two people left alive?!" "No;' Jake shook his head, shrugging. "I mean, those guys are alive, right? There's proba- bly other people like them. But it's our family. We're all immune. We're all here. Grandma... great aunt Eunice... cousin Dawn. We're all here... in this weird little sci- ence lab house they built for usf' "...so eternal Christmas dinner?" Dave asked, slowly. "Yeah. Makes you wish you weren't immune, huh?" Jake grinned. Flu Arrives in Grey Bruce Grey Bruce Health Unit On Friday, November 28, 2014, the Grey Bruce Health Unit received laboratory test results confirming influenza A in a resident of Bruce County. This is the first con- firmed case of influenza (flu) in Grey Bruce this season. Health care providers in Grey Bruce have been noti- fied and will perform testing, as required. There has been an increase in flu activity throughout the province with 37 laboratory confirmed cases for the week of November 16-22, 2014. There have been 139 lab con- firmed cases in the province since August 24,2014. Symptoms of flu may include headache, chills and cough, followed rapidly by fever, loss of appetite, mus- cle aches, fatigue, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and throat irritation. Each year, 10-20 per cent of Canadians get sick with the flu. It is estimated that 12,200 people are hospital- ized, and about 3,500 die. Immunization is the best way to protect yourself and others more vulnerable against influenza. This year, immunizations are available through area health care providers and most phar- macies. Other ways to pro- tect against influenza and other viruses include: wash your hands often or use an alcohol -based hand rubs; contain your cough by cov- ering your mouth with your sleeve, not your hand; if feeling unwell, stay home and rest; if sick, don't visit a loved one in a hospital or long-term care facility. With weakened immune systems, the elderly and those in hos- pital are more at risk of developing serious compli- cations from influenza that can be life threatening.
