"Swine flu’s US spread on the wane, but toll on children mounts; Another wave could yet hit US, the CDC warns" by Mike Stobbe, Associated Press | December 1, 2009
ATLANTA - Swine flu infections seem to be dropping, but the number of children who died with the illness rose by about 30, according to a government report released yesterday....
CDC officials have said the signs of declining cases do not necessarily mean the worst is over. “We won’t be surprised if we see another uptick later this year or early next year when kids return to school from Christmas break,’’ said CDC spokesman Tom Skinner.
“Nothing is typical about this year’s influenza. We may have weeks and months of a lot of disease ahead of us,’’ said Dr. Anne Schuchat, who heads the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, at a recent press conference....
Yeah, we can only hope, 'eh, Anne?

"Prom-goers dress with class for class; Don formal wear after event held on a school night" by Nandini Jayakrishna, Globe Correspondent | June 13, 2009
It all started with the H1N1 virus, known to cause swine flu....
Phi N. Tran, 17, who reached school groggy-eyed at about 7:30 yesterday, said he slept in his dress shirt and gray tie so he would not have to change in the morning. He was almost glad, he said, that the dance was postponed last month because at about that time he had a high fever, nausea, congestion, and dizziness.
"I bet it was the swine flu," he said, rubbing his eyes.

We still have a potential for mandatory vaccinations and martial law.

Boston health workers are prepared to vaccinate 5,000 children and adults Saturday and 5,000 more Sunday. In Brookline, there will be 1,000 vaccinations aimed at the H1N1 virus and 1,000 more at seasonal flu, all delivered within three hours Sunday. And public health nurses in Somerville possess more than 1,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine to stick in arms and spray up noses this week.
You will STAY the HELL AWAY FROM ME if you know what is good for you, doc -- unless you want a broken jaw!
