What is the prevalence of Swine Flu where you live? Are you having school closures, etc.?
Here in Oregon we have had 17 confirmed cases of Swine Flu. This past weekend, Western Oregon University(in Dallas, OR) was closed as a student was confirmed to carry the virus.
An elementary school west of Portland(Cornelius) also closed as they had a couple of students confirmed to carry the virus.
I heard there were only a handful of confirmed cases here in Milwaukee, but still several dozen unconfirmed yet suspected cases.

If my kid were in high school, he'd be off right now. We have probable cases, folks.

Swine is scary for what it MIGHT become in 6 months or so. So far, people who have swine flu have the equivalent of a flu shot.

After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.
With everybody putting lipstick on pigs for this last election, something was bound to happen.
I'm just glad I finally got my Gardasil.

Like that was our decision. Like we want perfectly healthy children home for 2 weeks needing daycare

Swine flu has been downgraded to "the flu." School's back on and they said that if your kid is sick, to keep him home.
