    2 of those infected were nurses at Mission. Everyone they were in contact with the 2 weeks before being diagnosed now has to be treated.

    I've got a coworker who has had a horrible cough for 2 weeks now and they are making him go get tested before he can come back to work.

    My sister had a 3 month old grandson that was in Mission Hospital a couple of weeks ago. He came down with the whooping cough this week after he came home.. I wonder if he was exposed to this by one of those nurses?
