My Wife's a teacher and I told her that she may have more days off this year than she would normally expect.

I didn't think that would happen because this Flu doesn't seem to be that dangerous (only 200 deaths in all Brazil), but we are already seeing parents complaining about schools staying open when even ONE student comes down with it.

I really can't blame the parents of really young kids because this flu seems to hit young kids especially hard.

It seems that us "old folks" that lived through the flu of the late 50's may have some immunity here but the really young could be vulnerable.
