Is your school freaking out about the Swine Flu?

By last Friday, seventeen states had issued a closing of 433 schools in response to the growing concerns surrounding the Swine Flu (H1N1 Flu). This forced 245,000 students to stay home, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Are we overreacting or being prudent?

Sources inform us (society) that the Swine Flu is not more deadly than other flu strands, but growing concern is rooted in the fact that we do not have an adequate vaccine for our lowered immunity to the virus.

A New York City school had 45 confirmed cases of the Swine Flu last week, but has since reopened. Other schools in that district remain closed resulting from an outcry from parents, nervous that their children will be exposed to the virus.

What is the proper course of action? Are we better safe than sorry, or are we being paranoid?

Let us know how your school district is reacting to the latest developments with the Swine Flu and if you agree with their actions.
