the sign of stupidity in a county health services office. . ..allowing a child that HAS been exposed to the virus (because her father is a confirmed case) to go to school without quarantine - and surprisingly she has since tested positive for influenza. Now the school is closed due to waiting the results of what strain (gee, I wonder). This is the elementary school, she rode the bus, AND the school was the hub for other schools to bring kids and get put on the correct busses!! My cousin, who is a nurse AND has a daughter at that school, is FURIOUS at the incompetence of the county health department.
Also, the cleaning crew where the gentleman with the confirmed case worked was never told WHY they were super cleaning the department he worked in!!
There is blowing things out of proportion and then there is sheer stupidity!!

^^Good golly Miss Molly! Whomever witheld that information could be instrumental in a (hopefully) small epidemic! It just goes to show that it's not necessarily confined to hospitals or such - use that Purell, people!

U.S. health officials are no longer recommending that schools close because of swine flu.
The government last week advised schools to shut down for about two weeks if there were suspected cases of swine flu. Hundreds of schools around the country have followed that guidance and closed schools.

All schools that were previously closed in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area are re-opening today.

It's good to be extra cautious, but this isn't the ebola virus.

Not sure if anyone saw the Doctors On Tuesday (I didn't get to see it b/c I just had back sx) but a vet was on there-Kristy O. Murray talking about it, she use to work for the CDC.-she is a Pi Phi from Texas A&M (we went through rush together). Hope this makes sense cause i am on some pain meds and having a hard time forming sentnces  .
