Here in South Carolina.
Newberry Academy closed, students tested for swine flu
By ADAM BEAM - abeam@thestate.com
An independent Newberry County school could be closed a second day after 13 students and three chaperones returned from a trip to Cancun, Mexico with flu-like symptoms.
South Carolina’s state epidemiologist Jerry Gibson said this afternoon he believes it’s “fairly likely” that the suspected cases confirmed by test results as swine flu later today.

I am really irritated to hear about all of these students that went to Mexico for spring break when they were supposed to be avoiding the country because of the escalating drug violence. People are just so caught up in having a good time that they have thrown common sense out the window. When I was in school we never got a *break*! Breaks were for people with JOBS!
I hope we never have a constitutional crisis or some despot trying to take over the country. 6 hours without electricity would have us on our knees. And you damn kids get off my lawn!
