New York School Closures

The swine flu is not behind us. In New York there has recently been a death of an assistant school principal who became ill with the swine flu virus. H1N1 has now been confirmed in approximately 4000 people in the United States, and possibly over 100,000 individuals worldwide. There is some conjecture that the virus has mutated into a more virulent strain, however, there is no research that proves it is more deadly than a regular flu. Nevertheless, it is recommended that people follow all recommended precautions for avoiding contamination with the H1N1 swine flu virus.
