Author: This notice went up on the boys’ school website yesterday:
Staff and parents are doing an excellent job fighting the spread of the flu virus. There is a small increase in the number of students absent each day, but this is partly due to the consideration parents are showing in keeping children home who are exposed to the virus or experiencing flu symptoms (see yesterday’s chart of symptoms or note/label sent home in ALL student agendas on Tuesday). The absentee rate was 15% on Monday, 17% on Tuesday, 20% on Wednesday and 22% today. We will continue to wash and spray disinfectant frequently. Thank you for the support you are showing every day.
I can’t seem to locate any kind of school closing plan, so I have no idea if we’ll wind up having to stay home with them at some point. I’m very lucky, though: I can do about 90% of my job from home. As long as I have internet, all is good.

IT SUCKS. I am better but still weak………………….be healthy Gordo and family!
Getting better is good, Gary. Stay well. No real flu in our family yet.
Our local newspaper reported that our immediate little area seems to be relatively quiet on the swine flu, as of yet. It’s all around us – but we’re just waiting for the other shoe to fall.
Seasonal flu shot still unavilable here. I’m still waiting.
Glad you two are feeling better and on the mend.
