The absence rate at my children's school exceeded 30 percent the week leading up to Halloween; it has been back to normal for some time since.
It's great that schools are making the vaccine available to students on-site. But where was the vaccine when we needed it last month?
The Obama administration had nearly a year's lead-time to prepare for the Swine Flu. And yet we are just now getting the vaccine, after the flu has run its course.
If this is how the administration reacts to a public health crisis when it has this much advance notice to plan and prepare, how it will handle a crisis that by its nature gives only a few days warning --like a hurricane.
By the way, more than twice as many people have died from Swine Flu than from Hurricane Katrina.
