Here it is, the dreaded H1N1. This is the virus that forced so many schools to close. H1N1, according to the Centers for Disease Control, is a new virus that causes influenza like symptoms and is probably spread people-to-people. Thankfully, there have not been as many people stricken with the disease. Unfortunately, one Mercedes, Texas school teacher has died from complications associated with H1N1. Preventive measures and good common sense are in my opinion why the flu has not spread as quickly or as virulently as thought.
Now we wait to hear whether we make up this week or get a waiver from TEA and end school as planned. The one positive about staying home for the week is all of the reading I have been doing. I finished reading Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series and just loved it. Highly recommend.
