This is terrible news: a co-worker's daughter just died the other day of complications due to H1N1 in Austin TX. My whole company is distraught.
She was only 5 years old.
The parents are starting an endowment at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin to buy books for children who are patients there. To get it started they are auctioning off their tickets to see U2 in Dallas this coming Tuesday night. Please consider bidding on them if you're anywhere near Dallas:

If anyone would like to give money directly to the endowment:
- Go to http://www.childrensaustin.org/...
- Select "Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas" as the category.
- Enter "Catherine Gibson Endowment" as the subcategory.
And so this doesn't have to happen to anyone else: flu shots seem to be available at Walgreens and CVS, but they cost $25 each. Maybe we need a fundraiser on here to get flu shots for Kossacks who can't afford it.
