oooh nooo Jen just follow your instincts. Jees hope it isn't, there is also a breakout in my younger childrens school, but they are waiting until there are 2 confirmed cases before they close it down.

Id be wary too, surely it would be best to close the school until they get confirmation that the pupils either have Swine flu or not?

I had that last week cos there's kids in my sons school with it...if she is a normal healthy kid with no health problems I wouldn't worry about it....according to Rupert Grint it wasn't even as bad as normal flu.

Fear not: we had it about 10 days ago at each of the Oslings' schools

Thus far they seem fine. Bit too noisy, but otherwise o.k.

According to those that have had the thing, it feels like, er, flu

morning
my sons says two have gone down with it at his school - it's out there and everywhere!!!



just keep you and your family healthy and topped with vitamins.

It is only supposed to be a concern if you have other serious health issues, in which case I imagine ordinary flu is just as dangerous. My friends daughter has it, along with 7 of her class mates, so far all a bit under the weather but nothing serious.

Sadly there is now no way to contain the virus, so schools haven't been closing when they have suspected cases like they were earlier in the outbreak.

There are several cases local to me, and like every other parent, it's a worry but we just have to hope our loved ones remain healthy and should the worse happen, that it's mild and easily overcome.

With the summer holidays upon us, I wish all parents on the forum a fabulous time with their babies, and I hope not a single one of us has to go through swine flu or anything else untoward.

thnks for your replies just a bit worrying isn't it

Swine flu is in just about every school in the local authority I work for in London. Schools will only close if there are not enough staff available to be able to keep the school open. If parents keep their children off school because they are concerned about swine flu, their absence will generally be treated as unauthorised.
