A few schools around here have already been closing to try to contain the current flu trend
That happens every year in my rural area. They will close for a 5 day weekend, do a thorough cleaning of the school and it helps until you get the lazy ass parents who will send their sick kid to school because they can’t afford or don’t want to stay home with their sick child and the process starts all over again. My kids have been in classrooms where they have had to combine the classes because the teachers and subs were out sick.
