I teach at a technical college. We have a student worker form the University who helps us in our technical program. She died today at age 21 from bacterial meningitis. We are stunned. She was healthy and active and the ideal weight. She had flu like symptons over the weekend and was admitted to hospital on Monday. On Wed. she died.

That’s why I looked here to try to gain an understanding. What a tragic circumstance. I had no idea that this infection could run its course so fast.

Dammit, we are all stunned.
