Summary of meningitis

My group first read about Sue and all of her friends and all the things they did like going to the infirmary and doing different things like sharing drinks and snacks and different things like that.  Then we ended up doing a spinal tap and testing in the ELISA test and ended up finding out that she was the starter of the outbreak and it spread to her friends.  The test showed that she did have meningitis.  People started showing symptoms like headache, soreness in the body, fever, and some of them even had a fever.  People could've spreaded the disease because they were in close quarters like dorms, some even shared snacks and drinks together.  All the symptoms showed that they all had meningitis some wasn't as strong as others.  I ended up figuring out that they should keep the sick ones in a room or a dorm room and keep the non sick ones out and keep them in their for at least a week, give them plenty of liquids, and give them antibiotics from the infirmary.  Hopefully they will get better by then.
