Wash your hands!

While this appears to be fizzling out... this has been a good drill.  Epidemiologists have been warning for years of a coming bird flu pandemic.  IT WILL HAPPEN.  This has been good for companies to dust off their pandemic plans or get a committee going to come up with one.  Workers and families need to figure out how to deal with hygiene, school closures, etc.  City state and federal governments have activated plans, probably found problems, and are correcting them as we speak.
How many of us now have hand sanitizer at their desk... in the car etc...?

Remember folks... the pandemic will occur it is just a question of when.

Are you ready?

The Oakleaf school's 7th and 8th graders also come from other feeder schools in Clay County. (Argyle Elementary, Oakleaf Village Elementary, Plantation Oaks Elementary as well as the K-6th graders at Oakleaf School).

The kid is in the Jr High part. Cannot disclose further due to confidentiality. That kid rode a bus which is shared with Argyle Elementary. That kid could also live in one of the other neighborhoods that service the other elementary schools. If they played with friends who have younger siblings going to other schools, well you get the point.

It can be spread pretty fast.
