Do you know what a targetedindividual is?

It doesn't make complete sense that the girl and family didn't have an acute attack inhaler to reverse the asthma attack.

This is sad so young my grandchildren suffer from asthma and with the roll backs on clean air regulations I fear more needless deaths

She died from an asthma attack...just horrible..RIP

Thanks for the always depressing constant updates on the terrible things happening in the world. Let me know if a baby chokes in its sleep and dies or a school bus crashes. Ive managed to recognize happiness for a fleeting moment a few times recently and it makes me uncomfortable
