I really wonder how many other schools have children with this flu and do not realize it or parents are not taking them to the doctor to be checked.

Um, so why don't they close schools during yearly flu outbreaks? Mass hysteria caused by the media. A handful of cases in the US and abroad however, 33,000 people A YEAR in the US alone die of the regular flu.

Pandemic alert! LOL Give me a break.

They don't usually close schools during seasonal flu. This isn't a seasonal flu virus.

It is a new virus - no one has immunity. It is proving to be more contageous than seasonal flu.

The CDC expects to see many more cases, more severe illness and more deaths.

Pandemics begin rather slowly. We're only seeing the beginning here.
