Swine Flu -- schools aren't messing around

Because I both have a kid in school and work in and around many schools, it's been interesting to note the strong response to the swine flu story that's been developing over the last few days.

Basically: one kid gets a fever with flu-like symptoms = school shuts down for a week. They're not messing around. It'll be interesting to see what fraction of local schools end up closed; hopefully the current trend of local cases being merely mild (rather than something worse) continues.
