The Swine Flu has been in the news recently and has caused panic across the world. Do we have another pandemic on our hands or are people just panicing over a few sick people? The Swine Flu has apparently originated in Mexico in mid-April 2009- just in time for spring break! Vacationers who traveled to Mexico have brought back the Swine Flu to their hometowns and there is now concern that this flu is just going to keep spreading. A New York City school has 8 confirmed cases of the Swine Flu and will close Monday and Tuesday this week. Scary, I know. We think of a disease that is in another country and say, hey, that can't happen here. But it can! What are your thoughts on this flu outbreak? What concerns do you have as a teacher?
