With everyone from news reporters to the Vice President himself creating the Panic of the Century ( or at least the biggest panic since SARS ) it is no wonder that 2 MDC schools in Doral have shut down. According to the Miami Herald -
"In Miami-Dade, students from Doral Academy Charter Middle School and High School started their first day out of school. Officials closed those schools after three probable flu cases were confirmed in the area.
In Dade, health officials on Sunday said a 13-year-old girl who is an eighth-grader at Doral middle school has a ''probable'' case of the flu, and closed the schools in what they called ``an overabundance of caution.''
That's For Sure !
Flu season is just starting in the Southern Hemisphere, as winter approaches. Miami is the gateway to the Southern Hemisphere for the Western Hemisphere. It is quite probable that we could see a few more cases here this summer - but a viral spread is unlikely due to our extreme heat. By the time Northern Winter begins, there will be a vaccine.
It is best to use common sense. Remember - elected officials have to justify their existence by pretending to know more than we do - and TV News has to do anything to get their ratings up - since most people get their news from the web now.
