So far I don't know anyone with Swine Flu. I don't know anyone with the Flu. Some of the teachers told me that in the lower grades a lot of the children have colds. We went to a High School Volleyball game this week and everyone we saw looked fine. The gym was full of folks. My Husband went to a football game last night and he said the stands were packed. Don't you think if this Swine Flu was so bad they would we canceling some of these games? I don't know of any games in San Antonio that have been canceled.

Probably depends where you live. It’s been hitting my kids’ school hard. The only thing is that it seems like it peaked 2 weeks ago, the week after homecoming.

Same way here. Malls are crowded, Football games are crowded. No increased absentee rate in the schools. No news reports about schools closing because of the flu-I have seen that happen when the seasonal flu was a bad one. No one has been begging for a vaccine.

I know of no one that has had it. I know of no one with an early case of the seasonal kind.

My son was sick a few weeks ago with flu like symptoms, but no fever. Cough, achey, lethargic. Felt better after a few days, then felt bad again and then back to normal.

He is away at college, went to the health office, they were not concerned. Did not even test him. I would imagine if there was more than one case he would have been tested.

My neighbor was very ill with a respiratory flu-like symptoms including a fever, She was tested—negative.

They are playing politics with this, of that I have no doubt.
