Schools are in a cant win situation with weather, and ice is the worst. The roads can be fine and then 30 minutes of ice or freezing rain and they are a skating rink. Better to be safe than sorry, not only for the kids but for the teachers and staff that may live outside the district.
Also, a lot of schools have a high percentage of kids out with sickness. Almost a win win by closing.
Truth. The Influenza A going around is no joke.
Same....It's been over a week and a half and I'm "better" except for the fatigue. The fatigue is real.
my symptoms have been this the last 3 1/2 weeks
I'm in the 3rd day of a fever, headaches have finally calmed down a little bit but my vision is still a little blurry. I can't do anything for more than 10 minutes before I have to take a break and every single orifice in my head is just constantly running.
I'm so confused also. My app shows nothing, but my MIL in Osceola says it's already freezing rain. We just got the school's our email as well.
I can only answer your question tangentially... I got the 'rona a couple weeks ago. Once we knew what it was, my doc strongly suggested getting a flu shot this year once I was healthy. She said the number of cases shes seeing was other worldly.
I'm glad you asked, because I was curious too! My husband works in healthcare, so we always get ours, kids included. No flu (yet?) in our house, but we've been really careful about handwashing, not to mention I mask when teaching and our oldest masks at schools due to being immunocompromised. I do know that one of my husband's coworkers had the flu in December and felt pretty crummy despite getting a flu shot, but I don't think it knocked him out as long as some as some folks were saying here.
I did in November. Strongly questioning whether I will again.
