Not saying there isn’t a widespread outbreak somewhere, but both my wife and I teach in schools in Queens NYC. Each school is over 1500 kids and staffs of 100. Our attendance is running at 95% and my school is averaging 2-5 teachers out a day for all causes. No student of mine has been out more than two consecutive days. And I see 95 kids a day. My daughter works in Penn Station and has noticed no lesssening of the crowds there or on the LIRR going to and from work. Nor has she noticed coughing etc on the trains.
I know these are anecdotals but something’s not right here.
Hey, we have another one over here who isn’t buying it. Bring the net... ;-)
My wife works in a lab in a hospital in central virginia. There has only been one swine flu death in a large, multi-county area. They do several flu tests a day and swine flu diagnoses are few and far between.
I agree. Something is wrong here.
I don't trust the Marxist-in-Chief.
At my daughter in law’s school one class had 21 of 26 students out.That was last week.
I trust anecdotals more than government statistics.
I know what you’re saying.
A school in my small community of about 40,000 people is supposedly closed due to 90% of the students out with the flu.
No one I know has a sick child. People I’ve asked about this in the market knew nothing except for one woman.
I turns out to a primary grade school in a section of town with students who come from mostly Hispanic families.
Don’t know what this means but the White House is over reacting, that’s for sure.
