School Closing, 2 days for cleaning, (Flu) Canton MI

This resident received a electronic telephone call today that the school system will be closed for 2 days to disinfect them. Apparently a 16 yr old high school student has symtoms of the (what ever they are calling it) Swine-Flu. I have no media source for this at this time.

Just heard from a teacher UNCOMFIRMED, just closing as a percaution.

This is interesting. Downtown Plymouth is holding their second annual Green Street Fair this weekend. Maybe the crowds haven’t been great, but perhaps it is a good venue for sharing a virus?(I have not attended, as the mention of “Green” makes me see red.) Plymouth is contiguous with Canton, and they comprise one school district. I wonder how many kids will be at the malls tomorrow and Tuesday?

I’m in San Jose where we have 9 probable cases, and a high school by our house was closed.

My daughters school has not been closed, but I skipped a school auction last night. I actually helped with the set up, but skipped the actual auction. I was irritated when one of the teachers started talking about how she didn’t feel well the day before (she did miss school), but she was helping set up. I immediately went to the bathroom and washed my hands, and then I went home.

I’m in a wait mode with this whole swine flu thing. My daughters are high risk (one has asthma, and the other has epilepsy and heart problems) for complications from any flu.

I don’t want to under-react or over-react. When the school by us closed, I kept my daughters home from their school. One of their classmates has a sibling at the closed school.

Tomorrow, I’m calling the asthma specialist and the cardiologist to see what they recommend. I’m hoping they have a better feel for the situation then they did last week.

i live in nearby Westland i think the flu thing might be slightly overblown. i don't recall SARS and "Avian flu" being hyped up nearly as much

well..either way..better safe than sorry i guess.
