Both my kid's schools have cases of swine flu now. I received a letter from school this afternoon saying they now have a case. Theior pre-school has 3 too, my son's school across the road from the the other school has cases as well.
I don't know whether to continue sending my children to school, after hearing of the 2 new deaths, one being a doctor and another a 6 year old little girl who was supposidly healthy.
I know that seasonal flu kills, but we don't really get to hear about it in the news, etc, and lots of us have had flu in the past and we survived, but my children have never had flu and I wouldn't want them to catch it, it is terrible.
it's just the thought of me sending them to school and if they catch it (seems to be spreading like wildfire round here at the moment) and some BAD should happen to one of them I owul dnever forgive myself.
I know you can catch it from anywhere, going shopping, park, shops, walking down the street. But I think that if all children are cooped up together it is going to spread very quickly. If they were at home with me then I feel they would be "safer"
What shall I do?? I am so worried about it - there's only 4 days left of term
