I thought that the Swine Flu had kind of calmed down over the last week. I guess I was wrong! They closed 3 schools in Queens today because of the flu. They are supposed to be closed for at least 5 school days. The weird part is that the assistant principal at one of the schools is hospitalized in critical condition with the flu and may be the first adult male to die from this in the U.S. Pretty crazy! Remember when I mentioned that my school had a TON of kids out and that we had at least 1 confirmed case. Well, I thought it was a 1st grader this WHOLE time. It wasn't! It was a 5th grader whose classroom is next door to mine and who was in the computer lab with me all of the time. Ugh! Soooooo glad that I didn't know it at the time and SOOOOOO glad that I am not sick. Count your blessings! Oh, I saw about 10 kids with medical masks on here today. I guess the parents are worried again even though we don't have any cases in our school currently. Hmmmm.
