I heard this rumor as well. I hope it's not true. I work as a TA and we have been in school with no kids for 3 weeks (first 2 weeks of September and then this week). They have been out of school way too long. I think some parents are a bit paranoid. Swine flu isn't as serious and a threat as people make it out to be. If you get proper treatment most people recover from it and are fine.

I think you are more likely to die in a car accident in this country than to die from swine flu.
