same thing happened in Texas yesterday. i get they are trying to contain it and i appreciate it, but what I don't get is why they are only doing certain things right now - i guess it's the classic left hand/right hand doing different things.

the fort worth school district shutdown yesterday for about 10 days.

things are going to get interesting for sure.

I agree its ridiculous but, when your advised by the medical committee you really have no choice unless you want some serious lawsuits.

"Right now, we are being advised by our medical advisory committee to shut down all activities until further notice," Savarese said. "We hope to be able to resume activities by next Tuesday, but right now we must study the situation and take it one day at a time."

I am in agreement with you Koz.

So I think it's good to trying to prevent it from jumping from one school district to another by trying to prevent cross contamination during games.

The problem is, it doesn't stop the parents from bringing it home and cross contaminating it via work to kids to schools.

Maybe there's something we haven't been told. Perhaps the authorities are so terrified of swine flu because we're descended from pigs instead of monkeys. :shock:
