Fort Worth has closed its entire school district, as have a few other school districts in Texas. 36,000 people die in the US each year from matters connected with regular flu. One person, let me repeat that number, ONE (a visitor from Mexico, no less), has died in the US from swine flu. Are we nuts or what? Recipe for distaster: a problem (usually minor) plus government bureaucrats; recipe for unmitigated disaster: problem (usually minor) plus government bureaucrats plus a bunch of lawyers. I suspect lawyers are the main drivers behind the school closings. Just swell.
