[quote:Anonymous Coward 0:MV8xMDM5MzJfMjMzOTczNV8zMkEzQjcwRQ==] First, thereīs essentially danger to adults from pertussis. Itīs a baby-killer. Secondly, pertussis is quite common in the population as a whole but is generally completely unnoticed because A) the test for it is extremely rare B) in adults it just causes a chronic annoying cough C) children are immunized against it. The fact that thereīs an outbreak means either a bunch of idiot parents in an area didnīt get their kids immunized or itīs mutated there [/quote]

The diagnosis has yet to be confirmed by labwork. The schools are anticipating Monday to be back open-as they had been closed due to outbreak.

They suspect the outbreak of whooping cough only because itīs all over the state right now, including 41 cases in Pima County.
"Certainly, nothing different than whatīs going on throughout the state right now," Schryer said. "We have Pertussis cases throughout the state."
