How do you console a friend whose kid got very ill due to the dreaded H1N1 flu? And how do you console the friend who was suspected to have inadvertently passed the bug to the kid?
I really cannot imagine to be in either of their shoes.
Should the friend who was suspected to have passed the bug to the kid get tested? If it's positive, probably this friend will feel extremely guilty for life. How to face the kid's parents later? Or is it better to leave it be - unconfirmed, since this friend has already recovered? I really don't know. In any case, it wouldn't reverse whatever that has happened.
The pandemic has reached our shores far and wide. Every person will probably get it sooner or later, symptomatic or otherwise. Scenario like this will become the norm. Finger pointing and the blame game may cause untold sorrows and may even break marriages and friendships. Especially in fatal cases.
I sincerely pray and hope for the recovery of the kid.
