We got "the letter" home from school today, although I knew about it on Friday. A 9th grader at the high school has MRSA so they disinfected the school all weekend and sent home letters today. The marching band wasn't allowed to use the school over the weekend for their practices or to get ready for their competition. While the media didn't pick it up about our school, they've been announcing new schools daily. I think they started to realize that they were inciting panic though because they've changed how they discuss it now. Initially, they made it sound like everybody who got it died. Now they are talking about how treatable it is if caught early, which is a more useful message.
