There's over 900 kids out at this school and they closed it down
link, but they have flu-ish symptoms and there's no mention of swine flu and there have been no deaths. This school is located close to us and our town's schools so far are fine, but again, it's flu season and maybe the standard flu is just hitting really hard this year in certain areas. If you want to battle swine flu holistically, I'd suggest looking at this site
link. At our house, we've used Thieves and Oregano and a couple others, and my son who was sick from the flu was back up on his feet and caddying a couple days after he came down with symptoms. The stuff works very well. Even on our dog!!! I put the oil in capsules ... 2-3 drops and we take one to two capsules per day just to keep our systems strong.
