Swine Flu Parties

[alum]

I think my kid's high school inadvertantly hosted their version otherwise known as Homecoming Dance last Saturday. Lots of kids mingled in the gym for hours and now everyone we know is home with a flu of some sort. One kid who goes to a private practice has a confirmed H1N1 case/gave him Tamaflu, but the military hospital that most of us use isn't even running tests or giving any meds.

This is horrible timing as next Friday is the end of the term so next week is full of scheduled exams in every subject.

That's awful. I don't think schools around here are doing any better. smh

I did chuckle at the part in bold.

Our school had their homecoming dance Saturday also although it's my son, who wasn't there, who is home sick with the flu. The pediatrician said that he was testing everybody with flu symptoms until about a week ago. He stopped testing because 98% of them were coming back positive. He said there's nothing else going around. Thankfully, he's been our pediatrician since my oldest was born so he gave me a script for Tami flu for my daughter "when she gets it", not IF she gets it, but when. He's just assuming all the kids will.
